Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sample is a subset of the population and is used to represent the population. Dr. Garza cannot include all people above the age of 65 in her experiment, so she will select a sample of these individuals to participate in her study. A census is a complete count of a population, which is not feasible in this case. A subgroup is a smaller group within a larger group, but it is not clear what subgroup is being referred to in this context. Therefore, the best choice is A) Sample.
