Question

colin hopes to be elected senator in his home state of california. as the election nears, his campaign committee decides to conduct a poll to see if colin is likely to win. the committee members cant ask all voters in california, so they survey 500 randomly selected voters. what sample are the election committee members using? the residents who plan to vote for colin all voters in california everyone who is a senator the 500 voters surveyed by the campaign committee

Explanation:

A sample is a subset of the larger population selected for research. Here, the population is all California voters, and the subset surveyed is 500 randomly chosen voters. The other options are incorrect: residents planning to vote for Colin are a subset of the sample, all California voters are the population, and current senators are irrelevant to the poll.

Answer:

the 500 voters surveyed by the campaign committee
