Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The entire group of 4,000 students at Meridian Community College represents the population, while the 100 students surveyed only represent a sample of the population. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because the sample size of 100 is not large enough to be representative of the entire population. Option C is incorrect because the concept of a control group does not apply in this context, and Option D is incorrect because there is no mention of an independent group in this scenario.
