The probability that a randomly selected visitor to a certain website will be asked to participate in an online surveyis 0.40. Avery claims that for the next 5 visitors to the site, 2 will be asked to participate in the survey.Is Avery interpreting the probability correctly? (A) Yes, because 2 out of 5 is equal to 40%. (B) (C) (D) (E) Yes, because participants in the survey are selected at random.No, because there could be voluntary response bias.No, because only 40% of all people will visit the site.No, because 0.40 represents probability in the long run over many visits to the site.
