Step by step solution

01

Given information

150 businesses were picked at random for a school's student newspaper survey about the value of students as clients. About 73 of them responded to the staff's inquiry. We must first determine the population and sample size.

02

Concept

A simple random sample (SRS) of size n is made up of n people chosen from the population with an equal chance of being the sample that is actually chosen.

03

Explanation

The poll is about local companies as well as the importance of students as clients, and it has received responses from 73 firms. The population refers to the entire group of people for whom data is required. As a result, the population is made almost entirely of local enterprises. A sample is a small portion of the population from whom data is gathered. As a result, the sample consists of the 73 businesses that responded to the questionnaire.
