ACTIVITY

Identify the population and the sample.

1. A survey of 1350 Filipino households found that 18% of the households own a
computer.

Population – Filipino households

Sample - 1350 Filipino households that were surveyed

2. A recent survey of 2775 elementary school children found that 28%of the
children could be classified obese.

Population – elementary school children

Sample - 2775 elementary school children that were surveyed

3. The average weight of every fifth person entering Jollibee within 3 hour period
was 150 lb.

Population - every person entering Jollibee within 3 hour period

Sample - every fifth person entering Jollibee within 3 hour period
