Prompt
Explain what the school survey does and does not tell the student council. Use the counts accurately, distinguish the largest group from a majority, and identify a limit of the sampling method. If you quote the source, keep its exact words and name it. If you paraphrase, use your own words, omit quotation marks, and still name the source. Do not claim the survey tells us why students chose a place.

For this assignment Writing condition: Transparent Drafting. What this means: Students can paste or drop in material. Coach notes when something is added via paste. Allowed: questions, next moves, explanations, hints, and unrelated technique examples the student requests. Not allowed: generated sentences, rewritten paragraphs, examples using this assignment's topic, and automatic completion. How guidance works: automated rules and, when needed, AI may use the approved prompt and rubric, your current draft, and rubric results from earlier versions of this assignment to provide guidance or feedback. Your teacher can see: saved drafts, meaningful revisions, support levels you opened, and reflection or context you choose to add. The system does not decide: who wrote your work, whether you cheated, or what your ability, attention, intent, or integrity is. Automated guidance may be incomplete or wrong. You choose whether to use it. You remain responsible for every idea and sentence you submit.

Saved version history
Version 1

Most students at our school prefer the courtyard. It got 54 votes, so the school should put more tables there. The library had 38 and the student center had 20. Eight people picked other places. The courtyard must be popular because people like being outside. This survey gives the council a clear answer about what students want.

Version 2

The courtyard was the most common choice among the 120 students who answered the survey. It received 54 responses, compared with 38 for the library, 20 for the student center, and 8 for other places. That is 45%, so it is the largest group but not a majority. The courtyard ranked first among respondents. (Harbor Point Student Spaces Survey, 2026). This pattern could help the council decide where to ask more questions. It does not tell us why people went there: the question asked for a place, not a reason. The sampling method was not recorded. A bigger survey would make the result representative of everyone, so the council should collect more responses before buying tables.

not a majority

The percentage now supports the distinction you are making.

What if the larger survey still only reached students in the courtyard? Revisit who is included, not just how many.
