<h2>Answer:</h2>

The inference that can be made from this random sample is:

Candidate B will most likely win the election.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given that:

A random sample of voters is polled and 34 plan to vote for Candidate A, 56 plan to vote for Candidate B, and 12 are undecided.

Since from the simulation we could see that more person voted for the Candidate B and less for the candidate A.

Even if all the undecided person will vote for Candidate A then also the total number of votes for candidate A will be less.

( Since 12+34=46<56)

Hence, there are most chances that Candidate B will win.

Candidate B is more likely to be elected because out of the sample, it had more votes than candidate A. It is safe to assume this because the number of undecided votes is quite small and not likely to go all to one candidate.
