Question

A bakery specializes in cupcakes. Each day, one dozen cupcakes are randomally selected to test for freshness. Which statement best identifies the population.

A. The population is the daily randomally selected dozen cupcakes
B. The pop is al of the cupcakes in the bakery
C. The population is all goods produced by the bakery
D. The population is the employees of the bakery ​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) all of the cupcakes in the bakery

Explanation:

in statistics, the population is a group of people/things that are in the same category for collecting data. c) and d) are thus wrong since no data is collected about the other goods or the employees, while a) is wrong because that is just a sample (which helps to test for a large population) and not the actual population.

i hope this helps! :D
