Populations and Sampling

Question 7 • CR02201A Probability and Statistics

Amalie wants to know if students in her class prefer hot dogs or hamburgers. Why should Amalie survey the entire population rather than a sample of the population?

Answer
A
The population of the students in the classroom accurately represents the population of the whole school.
B
The sample would contain people that are not part of the population.
C
The population is small enough to survey the entire group.
D
The sample would be larger than the population.

Explanation

Amalie wants to know the preference of students in her class, so the population is just the students in that classroom. Since this group is small enough, she can ask every student rather than surveying only a sample. Choice C says the population is small enough to survey the entire group.
