Question

a beverage company wanted to see if people in the united states liked their new logo. which choice best represents a population? 145 male and female employees 6943 children, ages 5 - 15 every person in the united states a selection of shoppers from different states

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of population representation

A population should be a diverse group that can reasonably represent the whole.

Step2: Analyze each option

• 145 male and female employees: A very small and specific group (employees of a certain number), not representative of the whole US population.
• 6943 children, ages 5 - 15: Only a specific age - group (children), not representative of the whole US population.
• Every person in the United States: While comprehensive, it's often not practical for a survey (cost, time etc.), but in terms of representativeness, it is the most accurate. However, if we assume practicality (since the company is doing a survey, they likely can't survey every single person), but if we go purely by the definition of representing the population (not sample), every person in the population (the US) is the population itself.
• A selection of shoppers from different states: Shoppers are a subset (not all people, e.g., non - shoppers are excluded), so not the best representation of the whole US population.

Answer:

Every person in the United States.
