A company is analyzing whether its employees prefer to skip their lunch break and leave a half-hour early each day or take a lunch break and leave at the
normal time each day. It conducts an observational study to determine which option is selected more often. At the end of the first week, the company finds
that the majority of employees prefer to skip their lunch break and leave a half-hour early each day.
The company then repeats the observational study for 10 more weeks. The study yields the same results for only five of the weeks. What generalization
can be made from the results of this study?
A. The majority of employees prefer to take a lunch break and leave at the normal time each day.
B.
The majority of employees prefer to skip their lunch break and leave a half-hour early.
C.
D.
The sample is biased; therefore, a generalization cannot be made regarding which option is selected more often.
The results are inconclusive; therefore a generalization cannot be made regarding which option is selected more often.
