To explain: If a general conclusion can be made that candidate A is more likely to win the elections with reference to the sampling results.
A general conclusion cannot be made that it is more likely that candidate A will win the election.
Given:
A survey of randomly selected registered voters was conducted.
The percentage of respondents who said that they would vote for candidate A is 48%.
The percentage of respondents who said that they would vote for candidate B is 46%.
The percentage of respondents who said that they were undecided is 6%.
Explanation:With respect to the given information of sampling results, no candidate got more than 50% support and it is assumed that the total registered voters take part in the election as the sum of all percentages given is 100%, but in an election, the polling of votes is never equal to total registered votes. Thus a general conclusion cannot be made that it is more likely that candidate A will win the election.
