(a) What is a population?
A population is the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
A population is a subset of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
A population is a numerical descriptive measure of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
A population is a numerical descriptive measure of a subset of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
(b) How do you get a simple random sample?
A simple random sample is accomplished by dividing the entire population into distinct subgroups based on a specific characteristic such as age, income, education level, and so on. All members of a subgroup share the specific characteristic. Draw random samples from each subgroup.
A simple random sample is accomplished by dividing the entire population into pre-existing segments. Make a random selection of segments. Include every member of each selected segment in the sample.
A simple random sample is accomplished by assigning numbers to members of the population and then using a table, calculator, or computer to select random numbers from the numbers assigned to the population members. Create the sample by using population members with numbers corresponding to those randomly selected.
A simple random sample is accomplished by using data from population members that are readily available.
A simple random sample is accomplished by numbering all members of the population sequentially. Then, from a starting point selected at random, include every kth member of the population in the sample.
(c) What is a sample statistic?
A sample statistic is the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
A sample statistic is a subset of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
A sample statistic is a numerical descriptive measure of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
A sample statistic is a numerical descriptive measure of a subset of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.

Population:
Population can be defined as the set of all people, items, or objects that are required for a specific study.
The total number of subjects for any given statistical study is known as population size. It is generally represented by N.
a) From the definition of the population, the correct option is,
"A population is the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest".
Reasons for incorrect options:
Sample: subset of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
Parameter: A numerical descriptive measure of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
sample Statistic: A numerical descriptive measure of a subset of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.
