HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! . Identify the sample and population: In a survey of 451 Veterans, 82% support the war in Iraq.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

the sample is the 451 veterans. I'd imagine then that the population is all veterans

"A population is a collection of data whose properties are analyzed. The population is the complete collection to be studied, it contains all subjects of interest. A sample is a part of the population of interest, a sub-collection selected from a population." http://infinity.cos.edu/faculty/woodbury/stats/tutorial/Data_Pop_Samp.htm

also...this Veteran never supported the war in Iraq...I guess that puts me in the 18% :)

OpenStudy (rogue):

That survey is so fabricated :P Most war veterans will tell you they hate war.
