Parking at a large university has become a very big problem. University administrators are interested in determining the average
parking time (e.g. the time it takes a student to find a parking spot) of its students. An administrator inconspicuously followed 260 students and carefully recorded their parking times. Identify the population of interest to the university administration.
According to the situation explained in the question, the university administration is trying to collect data on the students' parking times to figure out a solution for the parking problem in the university.
After following and collecting data from 260 students, the population of interest to the university administration should be the all 260 students that the data is collected from because population of interest describes a "population" that are being studied and having data collected from them.
