A recent study of 100 employees from six departments of a major corporation found 65% to be sleep deprived. The researchers concluded that the majority of corporate employees are sleep deprived.


The researcher’s conclusion is suspect because it (Points : 1)
assumes that corporate employees are more sleep deprived than other people
is based on evidence that is statistically impossible
fails to describe the effects the sleep deprivation has
relies on a sample that is too small to represent the entire corporate workforce

is based on evidence that is statistically impossible

The correct answer is: relies on a sample that is too small to represent the entire corporate workforce.

Explanation: The researcher's conclusion is suspect because it is based on a study of only 100 employees, which may not be representative of the entire corporate workforce. In order to make a more accurate conclusion about the majority of corporate employees being sleep deprived, a larger and more diverse sample size would be needed.
