Question

the households in a given state owned a television. what is the sample?
○ all state households
○ 1565 households surveyed
○ 1127 households that owned televisions

Explanation:

In statistics, a sample is a subset of the population that is actually observed or surveyed. Here, the population would be all state households, but the sample is the group that was surveyed, which is the 1565 households surveyed. The 1127 households that owned televisions are a part of the sample's results, not the sample itself, and all state households are the population.

Answer:

B. 1565 households surveyed
