ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

even if you don't know cooking, you must be knowing that one doesn't eat everything to test if the food has enough salt or not you just take a small sample to see if the food is tasting good, right ? http://img1.cookinglight.timeinc.net/sites/default/files/styles/500xvariable/public/image/2008/09/0809p121-stirfry-x.jpg?itok=XPOt641q

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

In this analogy : the small part of food you taste to check is SAMPLE the entire food in the container is POPULATION

whatever people you test is called `sample` all the people they represent is called `population`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

The sample is what you have examined

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

So, if you have gone to one high school and one middle school, that would be the sample

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

1) The first one is the correct one 2) You didn't go to all the students and 3,4 will be definitely wrong. Can you say the answer now?
