Consider the normal curve in the figure to the right, which illustrates the relative frequencies in a distribution of
systolic blood pressures for a sample
of female students. The distribution has a standard

  A graph with a horizontal axis labeled "Blood pressure" from less than 80 to 160 plus in increments of 5
and an unlabeled vertical axis contains a normal distribution curve. The curve is close to the horizontal axis near the
left edge of the graph and then rises from left to right at an increasing and then decreasing rate to its peak about
halfway between the bottom and top of the graph at approximate horizontal coordinate 120. The curve then falls
from left to right at an increasing and then decreasing rate, approaching the horizontal axis at the right edge of the
graph.

Comment on whether you think it is likely that the sample is representative of the population. Choose the correct
answer below.
A.
The size of the sample is not equal to the size of the population, so the sample is likely to be representative of the
population.
B.
The members of the sample have different characteristics than members of the population, so the sample is not likely
to be representative of the population.
C.
The sample is fairly large and random. Assuming it was obtained by a reputable firm, the sample is likely to be
representative of the population.
