Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 100 students surveyed would constitute a representative sample because they are a smaller group selected to reflect the characteristics of the larger population of students at Meridian Community College. It would not be the population because it does not represent all 4,000 students, and it would not be a control or independent group as those terms refer to specific experimental designs.
