Question

An employer with 500 employees gives out gives out 120 surveys but receives only 90 surveys completed by the employees. What are the sample and population?

Question 1 options:


Population 120 given the survey, sample 90 who answered the survey


Population 500 employees, sample 120 who were surveyed


Population 500, sample 90 who answered the survey

Answer 1

Population 120 given the survey, sample 90 who answered the survey.

Explanation:

The entire amount of employees who even received the surveys at all was 120. Because the total number was 120, 120 is the population.

Only 90 out of 120 surveys were received, so 90 is the sample because it is part of 120.

Hope this helps :)
