Question

identify the population of interest and the sample. Wilderness researchers would like to see if they can estimate the of in the wild by using other characteristics about the . Researchers caught and measured , recording their weight ,sex ,running speed , and size . weight a lion lion 55 lions weight sex running speed leg size

Answer 1

The population of interest and the sample are:

Population of interest: All lions in the wild.

Sample: The 55 lions that were caught and measured by the researchers.

Characteristics used to estimate population: Weight, sex, running speed, and leg size.

The researchers are not interested in the specific 55 lions they caught, but rather want to use their characteristics to draw inferences about the entire population of lions in the wild.

This is a classic example of using a sample to estimate population parameters.
