Question

Question 5 When studying the population of blue jays, only a sample of blue jay population was measured. Why would just a sample be measured? Explain how this sample can be used to make an inference about the entire population of blue jays.

Answer 1

Only a sample of the blue jay population was measured because it would be impossible to measure the entire population. The population of blue jays is all of the blue jays in the world. It would not be possible to measure all of them.
