Determine whether the conclusion is valid. Explain. You want to determine the number of students in your school who have visited a science museum. You survey 50 students at random. Twenty have visited a science museum, and thirty have not. So, you conclude that 40% of the students in your school have visited a science museum.
A. yes; The sample is representative of the population, selected at random, and large enough to provide accurate data. So, the sample is unbiased and the conclusion is valid.
B. yes; The sample is representative of a specific group, selected based on age, and small enough to provide accurate data. So, the sample is biased and the conclusion is valid.
C. no; The sample is not representative of the population because students who are older have had more opportunities to visit a science museum. So, the sample is biased and the conclusion is not valid.
D. no; The sample is representative of the population, selected at random, and too large. So, the sample is unbiased and the conclusion is not valid
