Using sampling concepts, the correct option regarding the validity of the inference is given as follows:
B) Yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood.
<h3>What is sampling?</h3>
It is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population, which is a group containing elements of a population. A sample has to be representative of the population, that is, it has to involve all segments of the population.
For example:
I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So I ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected New York state residents whether they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents. If I had taken 1000 residents just from Buffalo, it would not be a representative sample.
In this problem, all addresses in the neighborhood are considered, hence a random sample was taken and the correct option is given as follows:
B) Yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood.
