Jason and Yolanda both drew a simple random sample from a non-normally distributed population of 25,000. Jason’s sample consisted of 0.24% of the population, while Yolanda’s sample consisted of 0.32% of the population. Whose sample can be used to make inferences about the population?

neither Jason’s sample nor Yolanda’s sample
only Jason’s sample
only Yolanda’s sample

Answer: Last Option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of population = 25000

Percent of sample of Jason = 0.24%

Percent of sample of Yolanda's = 0.32%

So, Number of population according to Jason's sample is given by


(0.24)/(100)* 25000\\\\=0.0024* 25000\\\\=60

Number of population according to Yolanda's sample is given by


(0.32)/(100)* 25000\\\\=0.0032* 25000\\\\=80

Both the sample can be used to make inferences about the population

Hence, Last Option is correct.
