Question

In two sample surveys, 125 people were asked about their favorite fruit. In the first survey, 40 people chose apples, 64 chose oranges, and 21 chose bananas. In the second, 43 chose apples, 63 chose oranges, and 19 chose bananas. Marianne inferred that most people prefer oranges. Is this inference true based on the data? Explain.

Answer 1

Sample response

Explanation:

Marianne made an inference that is true based on the data. More than half of all the people surveyed in each sample chose oranges as their favorite fruit. Since most people in each sample chose oranges, it is likely that oranges are the favorite fruit of the entire population.

Answer 2

Answer:

On the basis of the data, Marianne made an insight real. More than half of all those surveyed selected orange as their chosen fruit for each study. Since most people select oranges in each study, oranges are possibly the chosen fruit for the whole population.
