    This would most probably result in biased sample since only a specific part of the community is being surveyed that does not represent all of the community.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A survey is being conducted to determine how a city's residents feel about building a new youth center.

    They are considering to survey 50 random children at a local elementary school.

    This would most probably result in biased sample since only a specific part of the community is being surveyed that does not represent all of the community.

    Moreover, it is likely that the students of elementary school might not even have any interest in youth center so results would be biased.

    Therefore, it is suggested to include a variety of samples that is surveying different age groups that covers all of the community.

    1. The survey is only considering elementary school students, but not children in middle school or high school.

    2. The survey is also not considering any adult at all. Most likely they represent the majority of the local residents.

    3. Finally, it's important to understand in advance what would be the main differences with the current youth center and include those specific questions in the survey. It's important to determine if the new youth center will fill the gap.
