Answer: Based on Jamie's research, her conclusion is not strongly supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on Jamie's research, her conclusion cannot be termed as strongly supported, because you cannot base the research that concerns an entire state on the opinion of just 25 people.

Jamie's scope of research would demand that she samples the opinion of more people across Texas before her conclusion would be accepted.
