The owner of the sports arena is interested in predicting what additional refreshment options would sell best. Therefore, the population of interest is all people who attend events at the sports arena, not just the occupants of the 100 selected seats. The sample is the occupants of the 100 selected seats because they were the ones who were surveyed. So, the population is the larger group from which the sample was selected, which is the occupants of all seats in the sports arena, and the sample is the occupants of the 100 selected seats.
