Question

Out of a group of 20 ​volunteers, 11 people are chosen to participate in a survey about the number of miles they drive to work each week. What is the sample in this​ situation?

Answer 1

11 persons chosen to participate in the survey

Explanation:

A certain fraction or percentage of subjects or persons drawn randomly from a larger population is called a sample. A randomly selected set of sample will be representative of the population especially when it is impossible for the whole population to participate in the study. In the scenario above, the population or larger group would be the set of volunteers. The actual number of people chosen from the group of volunteers to participate in the survey is the sample, which are the 11 people chosen from the volunteers.
