The sample exception rate is calculated by dividing the number of exceptions (i.e. abnormal observations or values) in the sample by the sample size. This helps to understand the proportion of the sample that exhibits abnormal behavior or characteristics. Hence, option C is the correct choice. Options A and D are similar, but they refer to the population and not the sample. Option B is incorrect because it multiplies population size with the number of exceptions in the sample, which does not provide any meaningful information or measure.
