Answer 1

The term "1000" in the survey represents the sample— the group surveyed (1000 adults) whose preferences (34% favoring charcoal grills) are used to make inferences about the larger population of all adults.

In the context of the survey, the term "1000" represents the sample. Let's break down the terms and concepts:

Population: The population refers to the entire group that is the subject of the study. In this case, it would be all adults, not just the 1000 surveyed.

Sample: A sample is a subset of the population that is selected for the actual study. In this survey, 1000 adults were selected from the larger population of all adults.

So, in the given survey:

Population: All adults (the larger group from which the 1000 adults were selected).

Sample: The 1000 adults who participated in the survey.

Therefore, when we say "1000," it represents the sample—specifically, the group of individuals who were surveyed to gather information. The findings or preferences of this sample (34% preferring charcoal grills) are then used to make inferences about the larger population of all adults.

Given

Survey:

`Adults = 1000`

`Proportion = 34\%`

Required

This implies that:

The larger number of adults is the population and the 1000 selected adults represents the sample.
