Question

question 27 of 28
if a population consisted of 32,000 people, a sample of the population could
consist of which of the following numbers of people?
a. 320,000
b. 32,000,000
c. 3200
d. 3,200,000

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the concept of 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.
The population has \(N = 32000\) people.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: \(320000>32000\). A sample cannot be larger than the population.
• Option B: \(32000000>32000\). A sample cannot be larger than the population.
• Option C: \(3200<32000\). This is a valid subset size.
• Option D: \(3200000>32000\). A sample cannot be larger than the population.

Answer:

C. 3200
