A local grocery store decides to offer a free piece of fresh fruit (banana or apple) to all shoppers in the produce department.
the store is conducting an observational study to determine which type of fruit is selected more often. at the end of the first day, the store found that twice as many shoppers select an apple. the grocery store then repeats the observational study for 14 days. all studies yield similar results. what generalization can be made from the results of this study?
The generalization that can be made from this study is that: Given the choice of a banana or an apple, twice as many shoppers will select an apple.
<h3>How to arrive at the generalization.</h3>
More of the shoppers are said to select an apple from the group of shoppers who are to but either banana or apple.
Those buying an apple are two times the people buying the banana, hence we can conclude that twice as many shoppers would choose the apple over banana.
