Colleen is conducting a study about the opinions of women voters in her city. Because she cannot talk to every woman in her city, she asks 50 women to complete her survey. What term describes the individuals in Colleen’s study?
  1. Normal distribution
  2. Random selection
  3. Population
  4. Sample population
Explanation
Answer: D - The sample population is the part of a population for which information is gathered. In this example, Colleen is unable to survey every female registered voter in her town. However, she can expect that the range of ideas among the 50 women she surveys will likely represent those held by the rest of the women voters in the community.
