Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
7.SP.C.7.A
Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events.
7.SP.C.6
Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability.
7.SP.C.8.C
Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events.
7.SP.B.4
Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.

Josephine owns a diner that is open every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She offers a regular menu and a menu with daily specials. She wanted to estimate the percentage of her customers who order specials. She selected a random sample of $50$ customers who had lunch at her diner during a three-month period. She determined that $28\%$ of these customers ordered from the menu with specials.
Which statement about Josephine's sample is true?
(*NO CALCULATOR*)
60
The sample shows that exactly $28\%$ of Josephine's customers ordered daily specials.
The sample is the percentage of customers who order daily specials.
No generalizations can be made from this sample, because the sample size of $50$ is too small.
The sample might not be representative of the population because it only included lunch customers.

Q.Lori designs a computer simulation with 25 trials and uses the data from the simulation to create a graph. The graph shows the relative frequency of the number of spins in her simulation to land on each color once. Using the graph, what is the probability that a player lands on each color once in less than 7 spins?

Q.Alexis chose a random sample of 10 jars of almonds from each of two different brands, X and Y. Each jar in the sample was the same size. She counted the number of almonds in each jar. Her results are shown in the plots.
Based on the plots, which statement BEST compares the number of almonds in the jars from the two brands?
