Answer 1

C; All containers of the suspected brand of oatmeal stored at the selected store

Here, we want to select the option that clearly declares the sample of the study

The sample space simply refers to the population from which we conduct our study

From the question, the weighing is on the 10th container off the shelf for every store

This mean that;

The sample space is simply all coatiners of the suspected brand of oatmeal sored at the selected stores

This is because we are capable of getting the result from any of these containers
