In this scenario, the population is all 225 players in the softball league. The sample is the 45 players that Maritza selects to ask about also playing basketball.
Population size = 225 players
Sample size = 45 players
Therefore, the population size is 225 players, and the sample size is 45 players.

Population: All 225 players in the softball league
- Total number of players = 225
Sample: 45 players selected by Maritza to ask if they also play basketball
- Total number of players in the sample = 45
So, the size of the population is 225 players, and the size of the sample is 45 players.
So what your saywing, is that there are 225 players total, so that's the populations, and and since Maritza chose 45 out of 225, that's the sampal?
