Population :
(A) The population is all of the clients of the fitness center.
(B) The population is the total amount of time a client exercises in one week.
(C) The population is all of the clients that use the fitness center for a given week.
(D)) The population is all of the clients sampled by the fitness center.

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: As they are interested in the amount of time a client exercises in a week, the population would be all the clients that use the fitness center for a given week.

Clients that do not go on this week are not part of the population. The amount of time is what they want to know, so it cannot be the population.
