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.

Population: All players in the softball league
Size of population: 225 players
Sample: 45 players chosen by Maritza
Size of sample: 45 players
(225 players / 45 players) x 100 = 20%
The sample size is calculated by dividing the size of the population by the size of the sample. In this case, 225 players divided by 45 players equals 5. This means that for every 1 player in the sample, there are 5 players in the population. To convert this to a percentage, you would multiply by 100 to get 20%.
