A population is a subset of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.


A population is a numerical descriptive measure of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.


A population is a numerical descriptive measure of a subset of the complete set of measurements from every individual of interest.

(b) How do you get a simple random sample?
A simple random sample is accomplished by dividing the entire population into distinct subgroups based on a specific characteristic such as age, income, education level, and so on. All members of a subgroup share the specific characteristic. Draw random samples from each subgroup.


A simple random sample is accomplished by dividing the entire population into pre-existing segments. Make a random selection of segments. Include every member of each selected segment in the sample.


A simple random sample is accomplished by assigning numbers to members of the population and then using a table, calculator, or computer to select random numbers from the numbers assigned to the population members. Create the sample by using population members with numbers corresponding to those randomly selected.


A simple random sample is accomplished by using data from population members that are readily available.


A simple random sample is accomplished by numbering all members of the population sequentially. Then, from a starting point selected at random, include every kth member of the population in the sample.

Give examples.
