Without seeing the specific data or results of Mia's survey, it is difficult to determine which inference about the general population of teenagers is invalid. However, some possible invalid inferences could include assuming that the preferences of the 40 teenagers surveyed accurately represent those of all teenagers, or assuming that the distribution of favorite Olympic events among teenagers is consistent across different demographic groups or regions. It would be important to consider factors such as sample size, demographic diversity, and potential biases in order to make valid inferences about the general population of teenagers.
