In statistics, a population is a set of similar items or events which is of interest for some question or experiment and a sample is a set of data collected from a population by a defined procedure. In the following examples of statistical studies, identify the population of interest and the sample and provide the sample size. i. An employee at the local ice cream parlor asks six customers if they like mint ice cream. o Population: Select an answer o Sample size: ii. A sample of three thousand randomly selected adults were asked whether they drink at least 42 oz of water each day and only 31% said 'yes'. o Population: Select an answer o Sample size: iii. In a poll of four hundred randomly selected college students, 61% answered "yes" when asked "Do you have a television in your dorm room?" o Population: Select an answer o Sample size:

Dataset: NES. Variables: spend8, nesw.) The NES dataset contains spend8, which records the number of government policy areas where respondents think spending should be increased. Scores range from 0 (the respondent does not want to increase spending on any of the policies) to 8 (the respondent wants to increase spending on all eight policies). The NES, of course, polls a random sample of U.S. adults. In this exercise you will analyze spend8 using the Analyze ▶ Compare Means ▶ One-Sample T Test procedure. You then will draw inferences about the population mean. Make sure you weight observations using the nesw variable so your results are nationally representative. A. The spend8 variable has a sample mean of ______.
