all employees who have worked in the company for 5 years or more

all 624 female employees in the company

400 randomly chosen employees from the list of all employees

Answer 1

The most valid generalization about employees' preferences for team-building activities would come from:

400 randomly chosen employees from the list of all employees.

This sample is the most representative of the entire employee population, as it randomly includes a diverse range of perspectives from different departments, roles, and tenures in the company. Random sampling helps to minimize bias and ensures that the results are more generalizable to the entire workforce.
