Theodore Rubio · Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics,

THe population is all the elements of an experiment, study, or group.

The sample is "part" of the population.

For example, if we are talking about 100 people that participate in a lottery held at a local market, we can say that the population is 100. If from those 100, 20 are taken to participate in Super Lottery (part of the Lottery), we can say that the sample size is 20.

Thus, the population is WHOLE DATA SET and sample is PART OF THAT DATA SET.

In this problem,

the whole data is of City Lake Waterpark and the people who visit its attractions.

So, everyone who comes here is the population.

and

One of the attractions is Super Slide. People who ride this are the "part" of the whole population, thus they are the sample.

B is the correct answer.
