PLEASE HELP!!! In a set of 1,000 integers from 1 to 1,000, an integer chosen at random on a single trial should be an integer from 1 to 25 about 25 out of every 1,000 trials, or one out of every 40 integers selected. A sample of 5 integers selected is shown. Does this sample represent the general rule for picking an integer from 1 to 25 in the population of integers from 1 to 1,000?

A. Yes - the sample is representative of the expected number of integers from 1 to 25 in a sample of 5 integers, which would be none or zero.
B. No - the sample is not representative of the expected number of integers from 1 to 25 in a sample of 5 integers, which would be at least 10.
