In a sample of 178 students at an Australian university that introduced the use of plagiarism-detection software in a number of courses, 51 students indicated a belief that such software unfairly targets students. Does this suggest that a majority of students at the university do not share this belief

Answer:

No it does not suggest that a majority of students at the university do not share this belief

Explanation:

No it does not suggest that a majority of students at the university do not share this belief

It is so because we do not know what is the population of university students and how much 178 people relate to the actual population of the university.

Also, the sub set of 178 of the total university population do not represents the entire university population.
