Lennon Chen · Answer 1

B) All teenagers.

Explanation:

The population of interest of any survey is the total population that is under study. In this case the population of interest includes all the teenagers in the country.

The 1,500 random sample should represent the total population of teenagers, but it is not the population itself.
