Which of the following points describe the concept of population in inferential statistics ?

A. It is a collection of all elements having same characteristics.

B. A survey done on the total population is not accurate.

C. Population focuses on the identification of the characteristic.

D. Population focuses on drawing inference about the sample.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

A population is the entire collection of units sharing the defining characteristic, so A is correct, and identifying that characteristic is central to defining the population, so C is correct.

A complete census is accurate, only costly, so B is wrong.

Inference runs from the sample to the population, not the reverse, so D is wrong.
