@mathmale this is stats. just in-case you were wondering

Answer 12

"population" here denotes the a certain group of people, and it's our job to identify and accurately describe that group. What are YOUR thoughts, jessicawade, as to which of the four possible answers best describes the population here?

Answer 13

well any population of anything regarding a sample is ALL of the members

Answer 14

Answer 18

@ganeshie8

Answer 19

Right. Only 1744 people "got on" AND "responded." (if they didn't respond, we'd know nothing about them, right?

So, try again: Which of the four choices best identifies the population?

Answer 20

my next best guess would be A, all of the people who listened to the station

Answer 21

because every single one of those people who heard teh radio station said that became part of teh population and had a choice to answer or not.
