Maritza plays in a softball league. She wants to know about how many players in the league also play basketball. Because there are 225 players in the league, she chooses the names of 45 of the players and asks them whether they also play basketball. Describe the population and the sample. What is the size of the population, and what is the size of the sample? Show your work.(2 points) please
The population in this case would be all 225 players in the softball league. The sample would be the 45 players Maritza chose to ask about playing basketball.
Population size: 225 players
Sample size: 45 players
Population size + Sample size = Total number of players
225 + 45 = 270
Therefore, the population size is 225 players and the sample size is 45 players.
