Identiff the sample and the population in the given scenario. State one conclusion that the quality control team could make about the population if 5% of the sample was found to be unsatisfactory.

Answer 1

The first part is to identify the sample and the population in the given scenario:

The sample would come being 3 pails of oranges and the population is the truckload, that is 50 oranges.

Now to draw a conclusion from "the population if 5% of the sample was found to be unsatisfactory"

Numerically, we can say that a small part of the population is that they are unsatisfactory and, furthermore, we can say that the vast majority (95%) are satisfactory.
