A farmer wants to know if her apples are sweet enough for juice. The farm has 12,000 apple trees. Each one has at least 230 apples. The farmer randomly chose 700 trees and picked one apple from each tree for testing. She then generalized that the trees are sweet enough for juice. Is the farmer's generalization valid? (1 point)

Question

Yes, because all the trees in the sample have at least 230 apples. No, because 700 trees in the sample is too large.

No, because she did not include all 12,000 trees in the sample.

Yes, because the trees in the sample are chosen randomly. The sample size also appears to be large enough to avoid bias.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Yes, because the trees in the sample are chosen randomly. The sample size also appears to be large enough to avoid bias.

The farmer's generalization is valid because she randomly selected a sample of trees, which helps to ensure that the sample is representative of the overall population. Additionally, the sample size of 700 trees is sufficiently large to avoid bias in the results, assuming the trees are homogeneously distributed and similar in terms of apple sweetness.
