Question

A national polling organization wishes to estimate the percentage of all teenagers who believe social security will 'be there' for them. The organization surveys a random sample of 1500 teenagers and 37% of this sample says that they believe social security will 'be there' for them. In this survey, what is the population of interest?

Answer 1

Answer:

B) All teenagers.

Explanation:

The population of interest of any survey is the total population that is under study. In this case the population of interest includes all the teenagers in the country.

The 1,500 random sample should represent the total population of teenagers, but it is not the population itself.
