A bicycle club conducted a survey to find out which city bicycle path was most popular. Sixty of the club's 497 members were chosen at random and asked which bike path they liked the most. The club made a table of the results.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline Path & Central & Riverside & Maple Park & West Slope & Total \\
\hline Number of responses & 5 & 24 & 20 & 11 & 60 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Which inference can be drawn from this survey?

A. The West Slope path is the most popular path with club members.
B. The Maple Park path is the most popular path with club members.
C. The Central path is the most popular path with club members.
D. The Riverside path is the most popular path with club members.



Answer :

To answer this question, we first need to understand the results of the survey conducted by the bicycle club. Let's look at the table provided:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Path} & \text{Central} & \text{Riverside} & \text{Maple Park} & \text{West Slope} & \text{Total} \\ \hline \text{Number of responses} & 5 & 24 & 20 & 11 & 60 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

1. Examining the Responses:
- Central path received 5 responses.
- Riverside path received 24 responses.
- Maple Park path received 20 responses.
- West Slope path received 11 responses.

2. Identifying the Most Popular Path:
- Compare the number of responses for each path.
- Central path: 5 responses
- Riverside path: 24 responses
- Maple Park path: 20 responses
- West Slope path: 11 responses

Among these, the Riverside path received the most responses (24).

3. Drawing the Inference:
The path with the highest number of responses is considered the most popular. Therefore, we can infer from the survey that the Riverside path is the most popular path with the club members.

Thus, the correct inference drawn from the survey is:

"The Riverside path is the most popular path with club members."

This matches option:
4. The Riverside path is the most popular path with club members.
