Question

the owner of the soup spot knows that the soup she serves needs to be at or above 135°f. since it would take a long time to check the temperature of each bowl of soup as it is served, she checks several randomly selected bowls each hour. what are the population and the sample of the owner’s test? the population for this test is the bowls of soup that are served. the sample is ______. the bowls of soup that are served the bowls of soup that the owner checks the bowls of soup at or above 135°f the bowls of soup below 135°f

Explanation:

In statistical terms, a population is the entire group of interest, while a sample is a subset of that population selected for analysis. Here, the owner wants to check all served soup bowls, and the subset she actually checks is the sample.

Answer:

The population for this test is the bowls of soup that are served. The sample is the bowls of soup that the owner checks.
