Question

Wendy asked 40 students on the school football team if they ever injured themselves while playing sports. Fifteen football team members responded “Yes.” Wendy concluded that 375 of the 1,000 students in her school have injured themselves playing sports. Select whether Wendy's conclusion is valid or invalid.

Answer 1

Yes, Wendy's conclusion is valid.

Explanation:

40 divided by 15= 2.666666666666667

Therefore, 1000 divided by 2.666666666666667= 374.999999999999953 which can be rounded to 375
