Question

Nicolas surveyed a random sample of 80 employees at a software company. He found that 29% of the employees surveyed ride a bike to work. Nicolas wanted to know if it is plausible that 40% of the entire population of employees rides a bike to work.

Nicolas performed 100 trials of a simulation. Each trial simulated a sample of 80 employees under the assumption that 40% of the population rides a bike to work. The dot plot shows the results of the simulations.

What is the best conclusion for Nicolas to make based on the data?


a)It is not plausible that 40% of the population rides a bike to work because the data shows that a sample proportion of 29% is unlikely.

b)It is not plausible that 40% of the population rides a bike to work because the data shows that a sample proportion of 29% is likely.

c)It is plausible that 40% of the population rides a bike to work because the data shows that a sample proportion of 29% is unlikely.

d)It is plausible that 40% of the population rides a bike to work because the data shows that a sample proportion of 29% is likely.

Answer 1

It is not plausible that 40% of the population rides a bike to work because the data shows that a sample proportion of 29% is unlikely.
