MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

A scientist is studying three types of fish on a random summer day and asks people fishing at a lake how many of each of the three types of fish they caught. In all, she records 211 lake trout, 189 smallmouth bass, and 21 pike caught that day. The scientist concludes that pike represent about 5% of the fish in the lake.

Which is the most likely reason why the scientist's conclusion could be flawed?

The number of pike caught was not exactly 5% of the total of the three types caught.

There may have been more representative data collected on a different day.

There may have been more than three types of fish that were caught in the lake.

The number of pike caught is too small a number from which to draw a conclusion.
