Logan Cervantes · Answer 1

Get a list of all the music students in the eighth grade. Randomly select enough students to get a sample from the population. Ensure that the selection is completely random so the sample is not biased.

Brock Bell · Answer 2

You could go to the music room during the eighth graders class there and ask if you could get a representative sample because the data is based off of the eighth grade music students
