B-would not be representative. C-Law enforcement may encourage people to lie. D-People may not visit the college website for a reason or another.
Reply:A. would be the most representative, B would be the most disproportionate but could be worked in tandem with A if you factored in the % of male/female students who belong to social clubs, likewise for academic clubs.





The A still has it for simplicity.


D also has possibilities but is not as accurate as on the spot polling
Reply:A.





b means youll just have a bunch of drinkers answering it.


c means that people will not want to be caught by the cops and they will lie


d not everyone has access to a computer.
