Question 8 • CR02201A Probability and Statistics

An insurance company is trying to determine the number of phone calls made weekly while driving. Which best describes the population?

Answer
A
cell phone owners
B
people over the age of 16
C
licensed drivers who own cell phones
D
licensed drivers who make calls while driving

Explanation

The population is the full group the company wants information about: people who drive and could make phone calls while driving. Licensed drivers who own cell phones are the best match because they can legally drive and have a phone to use. Cell phone owners include people who do not drive, while licensed drivers who already make calls while driving exclude drivers who do not make calls.
