Question

what does it mean to Determine the population for your study

Answer 1

In statistics, a population is a complete set of items that share at least one property in common that is the subject of a statistical analysis.
For example we might be dealing with everyone living in France - a country where they all share the same language.

Another example might be all the people in a town that own a computer.
