Question

Deundre wants to conduct a survey at White Station Middle School, which has 1,200 students. He wants to learn how many days on average students eat the school lunch per week. He knows that it would be too time consuming to ask every single student to complete the survey, so he decided to take a sample (a subset of a population) of the entire school population and only ask 60 students. What is the sample in this example.

Answer 1

The sample size is 60.

Explanation:

He only asks 60 people so that is his sample, the other students (1200) is the population he is trying to make a judgement about.
