After measuring the foot size of 15 of his biology classmates, laquon finds the average value and claims that it is the average foot size of all 1,200 students in his high school. what is most likely a problem with laquon’s conclusion? a. he should have found the mode instead of the average. b. he should have used shoe size instead of measuring feet. c. the amount of data he collected was inadequate. d. the data he collected was measured incorrectly.

Option C, The amount of data he collected was inadequate

Explanation:

Sample size in any experiment is very essential to reach a solid conclusion. Inadequate sample size can give disoriented /diverted results.

The larger is the sample size, the more accurate is the result or the near it is to the real scenario. Usually sample size is defined in terms of % of total population being observed. For example – Sample size for a population of 5000 should be 5%

Hence, option C is correct
