Answer

Step-by-step explanation: First we need to know that

- Population: represents the total amount of individuals in a group (entire group).

- Sample: We take a sample of a population which means we take just a small group from the population to study and make assumptions.

We also need to understand that our object of study is the population of monkeys in the wildlife park (estimated 800 monkeys) not the population of monkeys in the world. Then we just take a small group (22 monkeys) of monkeys from this population.

Final answer: Once we understand the statements above we know that the final answer is the letter B.

Population: All the monkeys in the park

Sample: The 22 monkeys studied
