Question

question 1 of 10
if a population is _______________, a sample of the population could be
_______________.

a. the entire school faculty; math teachers
b. ninth - graders at peak school; all students at peak school
c. registered voters; all citizens
d. people who purchased shoes; all customers

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the population - sample relationship. A sample should be a subset of the population.

• Option A: The entire school faculty is the population. Math teachers are a subset (sample) of the faculty.
• Option B: Ninth - graders at Peak School are a subset, and all students at Peak School would be a larger group (not a sample of ninth - graders).
• Option C: Registered voters are a subset of all citizens, so all citizens can't be a sample of registered voters.
• Option D: People who purchased shoes are a subset of all customers, so all customers can't be a sample of shoe - purchasers.

Only Option A has a valid population - sample relationship where the sample is a subset of the population.

Answer:

A. the entire school faculty; math teachers
