Population: The population in this scenario is all 225 players in the softball league.
Sample: The sample in this scenario is the 45 players that Maritza chooses to ask about whether they also play basketball.
Size of population: 225 players
Size of sample: 45 players
In this scenario, Maritza is conducting a survey to gather information about a subset of the larger population (the softball league players). She cannot ask all 225 players, so she selects a smaller group (the sample) of 45 players to ask about playing basketball. This sample is representative of the larger population, allowing Maritza to make an estimate about the proportion of players in the league who also play basketball.
