Answer:

A. Alice's, Bob's, and Carmen's salaries Sample

B Salaries of recent graduates of the ASU Engineering program Population

C A number computed from the average of Alice's, Bob's, and Carmen's salaries that helps us decide whether to reject the null hypothesis

P-value

Explanation:

Considering A

The salaries of Alice, Bob, and Carmen are Samples because they are selected from a larger population (i.e the salaries of recent graduates of the ASU Engineering program)

Considering B

The salaries of recent graduates of the ASU Engineering program is the population because it is the entire pooled of data from which the samples are selected from

Considering

A number computed from the average of Alice's, Bob's, and Carmen's salaries that helps us decide whether to reject the null hypothesis is the P-value because the P-value is computed from the sample and it is use to make decision whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis
