Distinguish between a sample and a population by identifying the population in this scenario. You are studying the average earnings of professional athletes in the U.S and Canada. Which is the population? (1 point)

O professional baseball players in the U.S. and Canada
• professional athletes in the U.S. and Canada
O female professional athletes in the U.S. and Canada
• professional tennis players in the U.S. and Canada

In this scenario, the population would be professional athletes in the U.S. and Canada. The sample would be a subset of this population, such as professional baseball players in the U.S. and Canada, female professional athletes in the U.S. and Canada, or professional tennis players in the U.S. and Canada.

So what is the answer

The population in this scenario is professional athletes in the U.S. and Canada.
