Answer:
D) college students
The college students are best describes the population
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Explanation</u>:-
<u>Introduction</u>:-
The outcome of a statistical experiment may be recorded either as a numerical value or as a descriptive representation.
<u>Example</u>:-
- when a pair of dice are tossed and the sum of the numbers on the faces is the outcome of interest, we record a numerical value.
- If the students of a certain school are given blood tests and the type of blood is of interest, we record a numerical value.
In particular study, the number of possible observations may be <u>small, large but finite or infinite.</u>
<u> Example :- 1</u>
In the classification of blood types we can only have as many observations as there are students in the school.
Therefore the results are <u>finite number</u> of observations.
<u>Example :- 2</u>
If we could toss a pair of dice indefinitely and record the sums occur, we would obtain an infinite set of values .
<u>Population</u>:-
The total of observations which we are concerned , whether this number is finite or infinite , this is called the<u> population</u>
The number of observations in the population is defined to be the size of the population.
<u>Example</u> :- If there are 600 students in the school that we classified according to blood group, we say that the population of size is 600.
<u>Sample</u>:- A sample is subset of a population
Therefore in given data
The college students are best describes the population
Female college students , part -time college students , and female part-time college students are samples it will come from population
