The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:

He needs to select a more representative sample.

Explanation:

Choosing students from the basketball team for the sample he uses on a study of heart rates and exercise will be a biased sample.  This is because students on the basketball team are potentially healthier than other students, which means that exercise will not have a large an effect on their heart rate as it would if they were not as healthy and not as physically fit.

In order to reduce the amount of bias, he should choose students from different groups throughout the school.

Well obviously he would need to make sure that the exercise is very well controlled.
But I think the most important aspect he needs to change is the people. Firstly, the subjects are all boys. They are also all obviously already quite fit (because they are in a sports team), and they are all around the same age. Results could vary if the sex, fitness and age of people also differs. It is therefore important to record results from a wide range of people.

From anecdotes he heard, Edward Jenner came up with the premise and conclusion that dairy maids could not get small pox because they had previously been exposed to the virus.

<h3>What was conclusion of Edward jenner in case of small pox?</h3>

He also came to the conclusion that small pox may be passed from one person to the next. Edward Jenner came to this conclusion based on stories he had heard about dairy maids being immune to smallpox.

In 1736, Edward Jenner met Sarah Nelms, a young dairy girl with small pox lesions. Edward Jenner then vaccinated an 8-year-old kid named James Phipps with material from Nelms' small pox lesion. James Phipps suffered a fever and became unwell, but he recovered completely after ten days.

Jenner infected the same boy with materials from a fresh small pox lesion a month later. There was no sickness in the boy.

When Edward Jenner was inoculated/vaccinated with matter from a small pox lesion, he came to the conclusion that he could acquire total protection from small pox.
