Answer:

the sample = the 100 times Sheldon brushed his teeth in front of the mirror

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, the sample is a small portion of a population that a researcher can study. It should represent a random subset of data from the population. The advantage of using a sample is that the size is smaller than the whole population, which makes it more manageable.

When you study the whole population, you are performing a census. That means that you are not obtaining a sample. In this case, the population would be every time that Sheldon or someone else washes his/he teeth in that bathroom.
