A school principal wants to know the average number of extracurricular activity.Students in their school are involved in.She assigned each student a number from 1 to 415 using a random number generator she selected 200 students to be a part of the sample.She concluded that students are involved in an average of two extra curricular activities is the principal's conclusion ballad
not accurate. In order to determine the average number of extracurricular activities that students are involved in, the principal would need to gather data on the number of activities each of the 200 sampled students are involved in, calculate the total number of activities across all students, and divide that total by the number of students sampled. Simply selecting 200 students at random and assigning them numbers does not provide a valid basis for drawing conclusions about the average number of extracurricular activities students are involved in.
