Answer:

The population of interest is composed by all mean that live in Laramie.

Explanation:

Sampling

This is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population.

For example:

I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So i ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected New York state residents whether they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents.

In this question:

Sample of 100 men from Laramie. This means that the population of interest is composed by all mean that live in Laramie.
