Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The group of trainees being studied by the psychologist is a sample, as it is a smaller subset of the larger population of all pilot trainees. The population would include all pilot trainees, while the sample would only include a select group chosen for the specific study. The target group could also refer to pilot trainees, but it is a broader term and does not necessarily indicate a specific group being studied. The control group is a separate group used for comparison purposes in an experiment, but it does not apply in this scenario.
