Question 1 • CR02201A Probability and Statistics

Which is true of a population in a statistical survey? Check all that apply.

Answer

A population can be a group of objects or events.
C
A population can only be a particular event.
D
A population must be the target of the survey question.
E
A population must be very small.

Explanation

A population is the entire group a survey is intended to study. It can include people, objects, or events, so a group of objects or events can be a population. The population must match the target of the survey question; it does not have to be only people, a single event, or a very small group.
