Government agencies carefully monitor water quality and its effect on wetlands.t of particular concern is the concentration of nitrogen in water draining from fertilized lands. Too much
nitrogen can kill fish and wildlife. Twenty-eight samples of water were taken at random from a lake. The nitrogen concentration (milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water) was determined
for each sample.

Expert Solution
Step 1

a) The variable is a concept or abstract idea that can be described in a measurable term. Here the water quality is the research and nitrogen concentration.

b) The variable in the research refers to measurable characteristics, qualities of a particular object or situation that studied. So the variable is a qualitative rather than quantitive.

c) The implied population is the population described by the collected samples. So here the collected 28 samples from the lake that were examined are the implied population.
