Explanation / Answer

In statistics, we know:
A population is the group from which your samples are taken. A sample is the subset of the population you actuallymeasure. a. The sample is the AOL subscribers thtresponded to the survey. This is because only those that respondedwere actually measured in the survey. b. The population is all AOL subscribers.This is because your samples were taken from all the AOLsubscribers. The sample is not representative of the population because itsuffers from voluntary response bias, which means that itoverrepresents those with strong opinions.
