Question

A beverage company wanted to see if people in the United States liked their new logo. Which choice best represents a population? Every person in the United States. A selection of logo artists. 3,800 children age 5 - 15

Answer 1

Every person in the US.

Explanation:

• If a selection of logo artists are asked whether they like or not the new logo, their answer will represent only the opinion of a specific group of artists of the US, and this is not the objective of the beverage company,who wants to know if people from the United States like their logo.

• If 3,800 children age 5-15 are asked whether they like the logo or not, their opinion will only represent the opinion of some children in the US, whose age is between 5 and 15, and again, this is not the objective of the beverage company,who wants to know if people from the United States like their logo.
• Finally, the population (which by definition includes all the elements under study, in this case, all the people in the US) will be defined by all people in the US: if the company wants to know if people from the US like their new logo, they must take into account that, the population under study is all people, and not a biased selection of it.
