In order to determine how undergraduate college students feel about eliminating spring break in order to finish spring term a week early, a survey was conducted. Two hundred undergraduate students from a university were interviewed. Both of the interviewers hired to conduct the survey were told to interview 25 freshmen, 25 sophomores, 25 juniors, and 25 seniors. Of the 200 students interviewed, 20% were in favor of the elimination of spring break, 70% were opposed, and 10% had no opinion. What is the target population for this survey?

The target population here are all the undergraduate students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population in statistical analysis is the set of all values that the random variable can assume. For example, all the registered voters of the U. S. is a population, all the old age adults who are eligible for retirement in a country is a population.

A survey was conducted to determine how undergraduate college students feel about eliminating spring break in order to finish spring term a week early.

Two hundred undergraduate students from a university were interviewed.

Of these 200 students: 25 were freshmen, 25 were sophomores, 25 were juniors, and 25 were seniors.

The result of the survey was as follows:

In favor: 20%

Opposed: 70%

No opinion: 10%

In this case the main motive of the survey was to determine whether undergraduate students feel comfortable to eliminate spring break in order to finish spring term a week early.

Thus, the target population here are all the undergraduate students.
