    Answer:Lucy's sample isn't representative of college students as a whole; she uses insufficient data to represent the whole population.

    Explanation: Lucy is committing an Overgeneralization error because her data is insufficient to be used for the whole college students, she only surveyed 3 of her classes she can't use the information to represent the whole college students.
