Question

A) A soft drink company is developing a new flavor. To gather customer feedback, the company offers
samples of the new drink at food shows all around the state of Texas and observes the fraction of those
who tried the drink who finished the sample. To which population is it reasonable to generalize the result
of this observational study? (1 point)
consumers in San Antonio, Texas, where one of the food shows was held
consumers in the entire country
consumers internationally
consumers in Texas

Answer 1

consumers in Texas

Reason: samples were taken at food shows all around Texas, so the most reasonable population to generalize to is consumers in Texas (not just one city, nor the entire country or internationally).
