A large sample of men, aged 48 was studied for 18 years. For unmarried men, approximately 70% were alive at age 65. For married men 90% were alive at 65%. Is this a sample or population?

It would be a sample. The conclusion is, marriage is associated with longer life, but this was just taken from a sample, and it doesn’t represent the full population.
