The correct response is:
No, because not all students in the sample have extracurricular activities.
The principal's conclusion about the average number of extracurricular activities is not valid because the sample must represent the entire population of students at the school. If the sample includes students who do not participate in any extracurricular activities, the average calculated from this sample will not accurately reflect the average for the entire student population. Including only students who participate in extracurricular activities would provide a biased estimate of the average for all students.
