Answer:
Sample
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that television station XYZ wants to know the proportion of TV owners in Virginia who watch the station’s new program at least once a week. The station asks a group of 1000 TV owners in Virginia if they watch the program at least once a week. 250 of the TV owners surveyed indicated they did watch the program at least once a week.
Here the population is the set of all TV owners in Virginia
The group of 1000 TV owners asked about their opinion is the sample
Answer is it is a sample.
Note: The main difference between a population and a sample is that the population includes all the elements of the set while sample includes only a subset of the whole set.
