Answer 1

I apologize for any confusion. Based on the information given, Brianna cannot use her sample data to form a valid inference about the town because it is not specified that her sample is random or representative of the entire population. Additionally, it is not clear what the population of the town is or how many people live in the town. The question is asking whether or not she can use her sample data to form a valid inference about the town based on the information given in the question. The answer is no, she cannot use her sample data to form a valid inference about the town.
