Question

which is true of a population in a statistical survey? check all that apply. a population can only be a group of people. a population can be a group of objects or events. a population can only be a particular event. a population must be the target of the survey question. a population must be very small.

Explanation:

• Option 1: A population in statistics isn't limited to people; it can include objects, events, etc. So this is false.
• Option 2: A population in a statistical survey can indeed be a group of objects or events (e.g., all cars produced in a factory, all earthquakes in a region). This is true.
• Option 3: A population isn't restricted to a particular event; it can be a broader group related to the survey's focus. So this is false.
• Option 4: In a statistical survey, the population is the target group we want to study (e.g., if we're surveying about student performance, the population is all students in the relevant group). This is true.
• Option 5: A population can be large (e.g., all people in a country) or small, but there's no requirement for it to be very small. So this is false.

Answer:

B. A population can be a group of objects or events.
D. A population must be the target of the survey question.
