Aconvenience store company would like to know what flavor slushy children ages 8 through 11 prefer. the company decides to ask students in grades 3 through 5th at lincoln elementary school. identify which group is the population and which is the sample. 1) students in grade 3-5 at lincoln high 2) children ages 8 through 11

Hello!

1) Sample

The students in the elementary school are just a sample or example of what children 8-11 think like. The thing is, not every single kid is just like the kids at Lincoln. This sample is just to find the basics. Testing the entire population (which would be impossible) would provide the most accurate result, but as that is a very difficult thing to do people use samples, similar to a ratio.

2) Population

The population is the WHOLE of all the children ages 8-11. The kids at Lincoln are just a sample of this. The population is every child who is 8-11, and this cannot be tested very easily.

I hope this helps!
