(Need help asap) Richie and Saul are conducting a survey on the most popular board games played by students at their high school. Richie interviews 25 boys from grades 9 through 12 and concludes that card games are the most popular among high school students. Saul speaks with 20 students, including girls and boys, from grades 9 through 12 and concludes that word games are the most popular among high school students. Whose generalization is valid? Why?

Answer:Given that Saul spoke with both boys and females, his generalization is accurate

Explanation:?A generalization is a kind of abstraction where the general traits of specific cases are articulated as overarching concepts or claims. Generalizations presuppose a domain or collection of elements, as well as one or more shared characteristics.Why is being general useful?Generalization is the capacity to do an action, engage in an activity, or display a behavior in a variety of situations, with a variety of people, and at a variety of times. Our ability to complete routine tasks in a variety of contexts and settings is due to the fact that we have "generalized" the necessary skills.

Answer: I’d say that Saul’s generalization is more valid because even though he interviewed less people, he interviewed girls as well as boys, and Richie only interviewed the boys.
