Question

Ms. Smith wants to do a statistical analysis on students' final examination scores in her math class for the past year. Should she consider her data to be a population data set or a sample data set?

Answer 1

$\tt{Hello~There!}$

Answer:

$\tt{Ms.~ Smith~ should~consider~ her~ data~ as~ a~ population~ data~ set. }$

Step-by-step explanation:

• Take into account that a population data set contains all members of the group and a sample data set contains only a subpart of the group.

• In this case, Ms. Smith can take the scores of all students of the math class, due to this group is not enough big to consider to take a subpart.

Hence, Ms. Smith should consider her data as a population data set.
