Evaluate the following generalization(s), identifying sample, population, attribute of interest, and the extent to which the claims involved are knowable. Consider carefully the size and diversification of the sample and the extent to which the population differs or may differ from the sample; remember, what's important is that the sample be representative.Mr. Smythe has closed each of the last four contracts with France International. Seems to me he'd be likely to do well with the rest of our overseas deals.
What will be an ideal response?
This may be a biased sample. Did Mr. Smythe work with the same people on the four France International contracts? More diversity in the sample would make this a stronger argument.
