Answer 2

Answer:

Jaylen's conclusion is a valid conclusion because it is logical

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaylen's conclusion is a valid conclusion because it is logical. Regardless of not having all the necessary information needed to prove that the number of dogs is the sole main cause for an increase in cleaner usage she can still conclude this. Since dogs naturally bring in dirt from outside and make messes, and since Jaylene notices that families that are known to have more dogs are buying more floor cleaner then she can logically come to this conclusion.
