Answer 1

Population is the entire pool from which the statistical sample is drawn. Here the researcher wants to know how undergraduate college students at her university feel about federal financial aid So, the population under this study is "All undergraduate college students at her university". Sample size is the minimum value needed to estimate the true population mean with the required margin of error and confidence level So, the sample in this study is "The 107 undergraduate college students who returned the questionnaire".
