Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The target population in this study is specific to TechState University, so option C, which includes both faculty and staff of TechState University, is the best choice. Option A is too broad and includes universities throughout the country, while option B only includes staff members and not faculty. Option D is too broad and includes all universities in Charleon's geographic region, which may not be relevant to the study at hand.
