Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A population refers to the entire group of individuals or objects that we are interested in studying. It includes all possible members, and we try to gather information about every member of the population. Sample, on the other hand, is a portion of the population that we actually collect data on to make inferences about the population. Set notation and a set of interest both refer to a specific subset of the population or sample and do not encompass the entire group.
