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?

Question

(2 point)

consumers internationssly

consumers in Texas

consumers in San Antonio, Tesas, where one of the food shows was hekt

consumers in the ensue country

Answer 1

The most reasonable population to generalize the results of the observational study is:

consumers in Texas.

This is because the samples were gathered at food shows around the state of Texas, making the feedback more representative of consumers in that state rather than limiting it to a specific city (San Antonio) or an undefined broader group (like "consumers internationally" or "consumers in the ensue country").
