Suppose a school district decides to randomly test high school students for attention deficit disorder (ADD). There are three high schools in the district, each with grades 9-12.
 
  The school board pools all of the students together and randomly samples 250 students. Is this a simple random sample?
  A) Yes, because each student is equally likely to be chosen.
  B) Yes, because they could have chosen any 250 students from the district.
