Question: Utilize the concepts of sample and population to describe how a presidential election is unlike an exit poll of the electorate.
In statistics, a population is the entire group of individuals or objects that we are interested in studying, while a sample is a subset of the population that we select to study. A presidential election is an example of a population, because it involves all the eligible voters in a country. An exit poll of the electorate is an example of a sample, because it involves only a fraction of the voters who are interviewed after they cast their ballots. Therefore, a presidential election is unlike an exit poll of the electorate because it uses different types of data: population data and sample data.
