Mark wants to know how many families in his neighborhood plan to attend the neighborhood party. He puts all 80 of the neighborho

od addresses in a hat and draws a random sample of 20 addresses. He then asks those families if they plan to attend the party. He finds that 20% of the families plan to attend the party. He claims that 20% of the neighborhood families would be expected to attend the party. Is this a valid inference?

B. No, this is not a valid inference because he did not take a random sample of the neighborhood
C. Yes, this is a valid inference because he took a random sample of the neighborhood
D. Yes, this is a valid inference because the 20 families speak for the whole neighborhood
