Question

Great Gummies wants to see if their new candy is enjoyed more by high school or middle school students. They decide to visit one middle school and one high school in Hollywood, CA. After interviewing 50 students at each school, they determine that middle school students like their candy more than the high school students do. What is the sample of the population?

Answer 1

The sample of the population is 100 students since they acquired answers from students from middle school and high school, having 50 students each school. 50 + 50 = 100 students as the sample. The total population for either or both of the schools is/are undetermined.

Answer 2

Answer:

The sample population is all the students who attend one middle school and one high school in Hollywood, CA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population sampling means taking a sample of subjects that represent an entire population.

Here, in the question it is given that Great Gummies visit one middle school and one high school in Hollywood, CA and there they interviewed 50 students from each school.

So, as it was decided that only one middle school and one high school will be visited, so students attending these form the population sample.
