Grade 6 Collecting and Interpreting Data CCSS: 6.SP.A.1

In order to determine what type of pizza 6th graders in Coffee Count Middle School prefer, John Doe is conducting a survey of 6th graders at his school. He has given a survey to all of his friends who happen to be in his homeroom. Why might the results of John Doe's survey be biased?
  1. He didn't expand his results to include all grades at his school.
  2. He only gave the survey to his friends, not a random sample of 6th graders.
  3. He only asked about two different kinds of pizza.
  4. He didn't survey students from 8th grade.
