Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of participants in Aaron's study is the sample size, which is represented by the total number of individuals who participated in his study. Therefore, option D (sample size) is the correct choice. Option A (population collective) is incorrect as this term refers to a group of individuals within a larger population, and not the total number of participants in a study. Option B (data sample) is also incorrect, as this term refers to the subset of data collected from the larger population, and not the total number of participants. Option C (population) is incorrect as this term refers to the entire group of individuals that the researcher is interested in studying, and not just the number of participants in the study.
