The correct answer is option D which is both Jason’s sample and Yolanda’s sample can be used to make inferences about the population

The complete question is given below:-

Jason and Yolanda both drew a simple random sample from a non-normally distributed population of 25,000. Jason’s sample consisted of 0.24% of the population, while Yolanda’s sample consisted of 0.32% of the population. Whose sample can be used to make inferences about the population?

neither Jason’s sample nor Yolanda’s sample

only Jason’s sample

only Yolanda’s sample

both Jason’s sample and Yolanda’s sample

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Since we have given that

Total number of population = 25000

Percent of a sample of Jason = 0.24%

Percent of a sample of Yolanda's = 0.32%

So, the number of the population according to Jason's sample is given by

= ( 0.24 / 100 ) x 25000

= 60

The number of the population according to Yolanda's sample is given by

= ( 0.32 / 100 ) x 25000

= 80

Both the sample can be used to make inferences about the population

Hence, the Last Option is correct.
