There are 150 eighth grade students at Bailey Junior High. To determine which field trip destination is preferred by the 8th grade students, the student council decided to draw 75 names from a bag containing the names of all 150 8th graders, and survey those students. Would this be an appropriate sampling technique for the student council to use? A. Yes, because the sample is fairly large, unbiased, and collected in a random manner. B. Yes, because the sample will include the same number of male and female students. C. No, because the sample should be larger and include 7th grade students as well. D. No, because the sample is not random and should include every 8th grade
