Question: 1 / 575

The conclusion above is properly drawn if which one of the following is assumed?

The study population represents the entire ecosystem

The conclusion relies on the assumption that the study population accurately represents the entire ecosystem. If the study population is not a representative sample of the ecosystem, then the conclusion drawn from the study may not be applicable or accurate for the entire ecosystem. Therefore, assuming that the study population represents the entire ecosystem is crucial for the conclusion to be properly drawn.

Option B is not relevant to the validity of the conclusion because ethical methods of data collection do not necessarily impact whether the conclusion is properly drawn or not. Option C regarding the replication of results does not directly impact the reasoning behind the conclusion. Option D about the environmentalist's conflict of interest, while important, is not essential to the logic of the conclusion.
