A school principal wants to know the average number of extracurricular activities students in her 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 part of the sample. She concluded that students are involved in an average of two extracurricular activities. Is the principal's conclusion valid?

Answer 1

No, the principal's conclusion is not valid. In order to accurately determine the average number of extracurricular activities students are involved in, a larger and more representative sample size is needed. Selecting only 200 students out of a total of 415 does not provide a sufficient sample size to draw a valid conclusion about the average extracurricular activities.
