Which of the following is a representative sample of the population? Select all that apply. A. 20 sixth-grade students, 20 seventh-grade students, and 20 eighth-grade students B. 10 seventh-grade boys and 10 seventh-grade girls C. 25 seventh-grade students D. 15 seventh-grade boys and 5 teachers E. 25 students from the school
