The population in this case would be all of the 7th graders at the school. This is because the principal wanted to find out which sport was the favorite of the entire 7th grade population, not just the students who were surveyed.
u sure
Yes, I am sure. In this case, the population refers to the entire group that the principal wants to make inferences about - in this scenario, it is all of the 7th graders at the school. The sample is the group of 100 7th graders surveyed, and the 65 students who chose soccer are a subset of that sample.
