Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The group of 50 students that Kevin surveyed is a sample, as it is a subset of the larger population of all students on his campus. The population would include all of the students on his campus, and the control and experimental groups would only be relevant if Kevin was conducting an experimental study with specific interventions or treatments.
