C. Yes, the variation of the sample means is small.

Turner Ross · Answer 2

option: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The table for our samples is given as:

sample no. sample mean (number of goals)

1 7

2 4

3 5

4 8

on looking at the table we could clearly see that all of the sample means are less than 10.

as for the first sample it is 7, for the second sample it is 4, for the third sample it is 5 and for the fourth sample it is 8.

Hence, option: B is correct.
