Question

If a population consisted of 7,000,000 people, a sample of the population could consist of which of these numbers of people?

Answer 1

A) 700,000

Explanation:

It is given in the question that we have a population of 7,000,000 people. We draw a sample of people from this population.

Sample is always part of population. It is a set of population and can never be larger than a population. A sample is always contained in the population. It is a set of observation tat is randomly selected from the population.

We have to check which of the following options can be a sample

A) 700,000

Yes, this can be a sample from the given population. As this can be a part of the population given to us.

B)700,000,000

No, this cannot be a sample because sample can never be larger than the population.

C) 7,000,000,000

This again cannot be sample because of the same reason that sample is a part of population and can never be greater than population.

D)70,000,000

This cannot be a sample as given population size is smaller.

Answer 2

A. 700,000

Explanation:

A sample represents a subset of the subjects which is a portion of the entire population.

Given that the population size to be 7000000

The sample 700,000 is a portion of the population and can be put as a percentage of the population as;

(700000÷7000000)×100

10% of the population
