The true statements about the Madison random survey of the 50 students are (a), (c) and (d)

From the question, we understand that 50 of the high school students were surveyed.

This means that, the 50 students represent a sample of the 2000 students (option A is true)

Also, we have that 18 students of the 50 students chose blue.

This means that 18 represents the result of those that chose blue as their favorite color (option C is true)

Lastly, the value 720 is an estimate of the total number of students in the school that will choose blue as their favorite color

This means that option (D) is also true

Hence, the true statements about the survey are (a), (c) and (d)
