Start guidance on how I can start an essay on the question below. Your
Help would be truly appreciated.

A substitute teacher wants to know how students (in a class siz of 30)did on
The final test in their research method course. She asks only the 5
Students sitting in the front row to report how they did on their last test
And she concludes from them that the class did extremely well.

Question
Identify and discuss any problems with choosing the sample in the way the
Teacher did. Include at least three statistical terms in your discussion

First off, since we do not know the "statistical terms" you have learned in your stats class, we cannot get very specific.

However, you can start by saying something like the kids in the front row aren't an accurate statistical analysis because "they chose to sit in the front, therefore they must pay better attention" or "they could have seen the board better from where they were"
Say something like the teacher should have chosen a variety of boys and girls (if avaliable) from mixed positions around the classroom to possibly limit segregation of any kind in the selection.

If you reply with more specifics, we can provide more specific answers.

Good Luck!
