Researchers would like to assess the overall health of white pine trees in a state park.

Of the 100 trees selected, 24 showed damage to their lower limbs. Which of the following describes the population in this setting?

Answer
A
all white pine trees in the world
B
the 24 trees that show damage
C
the 100 trees checked for damage
D
all white pine trees in the state park

Explanation

The population is the entire group the researchers want to learn about. They want to assess white pine trees in the state park, so the population is all white pine trees in that park. The 100 trees checked are the sample, and the 24 damaged trees are a result observed within that sample.
