​A scientist asked four of her dentist friends if they thought the new Brand X sugar-free gum that she developed was effective. Three responded​ "yes." The scientist used the results to write a TV advertisement claiming that ​"3 out of 4 dentists prefer Brand X sugar-free gum​." Is this a valid​ inference? Explain. Use pencil and paper. Explain all of the factors that are necessary for an inference to be valid.

Is the inference​ valid? Explain. Choose the correct answer below.

A.​Yes, because 3 dentists said yes out of 4 who were asked.

B. No, because 3 dentists said yes out of 7 who were asked.

C. No, because the dentists asked are not a representative sample of the population of dentists.

D.​Yes, because the dentists asked are a representative sample of the population of dentists.

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x + 4, [−1, 1] no, f is continuous on [−1, 1] but not differentiable on (−1, 1). no, f is not continuous on [−1, 1]. yes, f is continuous on [−1, 1] and differentiable on (−1, 1) since polynomials are continuous and differentiable on . there is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the mean value theorem. yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the mean value theorem.
