Answer 1

The statement that minimizes the validity of the survey is option C) The survey sampling must include all of the fans regardless of which team they were supporting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that minimizes the validity of the survey is option C) The survey sampling must include all of the fans regardless of which team they were supporting. This statement suggests that the survey should include both Brazil and France supporters, which could lead to biased results. It is important to sample only the supporters of the Brazil team to accurately gauge their perception of the chances of Brazil winning.
