Question

question 3 of 10
if a population consisted of 100,000 people, a sample of the population could
consist of which of these numbers of people?
a. 10,000,000
b. 1,000,000
c. 10,000
d. 100,000,000

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of a sample

A sample is a subset of a population. So the number of people in the sample must be less than the number of people in the population.

Step2: Compare each option with the population size

The population size is \(n = 100000\).

• Option A: \(10000000>100000\)
• Option B: \(1000000>100000\)
• Option C: \(10000<100000\)
• Option D: \(100000000>100000\)

Answer:

C. 10,000
