I do not know how to go about finding a soluiton to this question,

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

the population was the 750 and the sample was the 100

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

This is what I think: the population was the 750 and the sample was the 100

OpenStudy (landon34):

I can solve it hold on.

OpenStudy (landon34):

first, we have to make an equation, can you make one?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

no because I dont see how we need one

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that the population is 100, and the sample is 41

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the statistical methods can be applied to those 41 questionnaires

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

ok i see, so how does one clearly define this though

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

because I always get these type of questions wrong with saying answers directly

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that we can write this answer: a \(Statistical\; population\) is a set of objects or people, which share a common property, so such set can be defined with precision. Nevertheless not all elements of the population can be observable statistically. In uour case the set of \(100\) people have the common property that they have completed the online course. Only \(41\) of such elements can be observable directly A \Statistical\; sample\) is a set of objects or people, on which we can apply the statistical mathematics methods in order to make some statistical inferences. In our example, we can apply the statistical methods to those \(41\) students only

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops.. our*

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

another typo: A \(Statistical \; sample\)*
