Question

Your professor hands you a sealed bag of potato chips and asks you to open the bag and take out two scoops of chips. The scoops of chips are analogous to a __________ and the bag of chips is analogous to the __________.
A) sample; population
B) population; sample
C) hypothesis; population
D) generalizable scoop; sample scoop

Answer 1

The two scoops that the Professor told you to take from the bag are a sample. The rest of the bag of chips are the population.

What are samples and population?

The population is considered the entire group of variables that share a certain characteristic and are being measured. The entire bag of chips is therefore the population.

A sample on the other hand, is a smaller number of variables that is drawn from a population. The scoops were drawn from the bag (population) and so are the sample.

In conclusion, option A is correct.
