Question

an orchard has three types of trees: apple (a), pear (p), and cherry (c). the trees are planted in rows, and there are twice as many apple trees as pear or cherry trees. an employee at the orchard wants to choose a sample of the trees. which sample is most representative of the population?

Explanation:

A representative sample should reflect the proportion of each type of tree in the population. Since there are twice as many apple trees as pear or cherry trees, the sample should have a similar ratio. Sample C seems to have a more balanced and representative distribution compared to the others.

Answer:

Sample C
