A company measured the salaries of all of its employees and found that the average salary for men was 10% higher than the average salary for women.

a. Yes, the results can be extended to the larger population of all male workers in the country.
b. No, the entire population of employees at the company has already been measured.
c. No, the sample may not be representative of all employees at the company.

the answer is a

In each of the following cases, explain whether the results can be extended to a larger population. If so, explain what the population is. If not, explain why not.

that was incorrect

The correct answer is c. No, the sample may not be representative of all employees at the company.

When conducting a study or analysis, it is important to ensure that the sample used is representative of the entire population you are trying to analyze. In this case, the study only measured the salaries of the company's employees and did not include any data from other companies or workers outside of this specific company. Therefore, the results cannot be generalized to the larger population of all male workers in the country.

Additionally, the average salary for men being 10% higher than the average salary for women does not necessarily mean there is a gender pay gap in this particular company. There could be other factors at play such as differences in job roles, experience levels, or educational background that contribute to the observed difference in average salaries. It is important to consider all relevant factors and not jump to conclusions based solely on this one comparison.
