Definitly NOT population
I still say sample.
I think an experimental unit is like, take a person and do something and see what comes out of it

WRONG QUESTION

Answer 12

Student council is attempting to change the school colors. The council members survey ten percent of the students in grades 6, 7 and 8. What term could you use to describe one student that was surveyed?

population

sample

subgroup

experimental unit

This is slightly different

Answer 13

@Allofus

Answer 14

"this is slightly different" is not an answer choice

Answer 15

probably still not experimental unit since they are not experimenting

Answer 16

so subgroup I would say,

Answer 17

Because wait one sec

Answer 18

Maybe first one is subgroup and this one is sample just a min

Answer 19

The sample is the group which is surveyed

Answer 20

A subgroup is a subset of a sample

Answer 21

yeah so @Allofus I think it is subgroup because a sample is a group which is surveyed, thanks for helping me narrow it down though

Answer 22

Just give a medal :)
