A shoe store sends an email survey to all customers who pay with a debit card. The previous month, 34,000 people made debit card purchases. Surveys were sent to 2,000 of these people, chosen at random, and 256 people responded to the survey. Identify the population and the sample. The population is 34,000. The sample is 2,000. The population is 2,000. The sample is 256. The population is 256. The sample is 34,000. The population is 2,000. The sample is 34,000. The population is 34,000. The sample is 256.

The population is 34,000. The sample is 2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in statistics can be explained as the group or set of all elements which are of particular interest to a researcher or a study. In the scenario above, the research interest concerns customers who pay with a debit card, whose number amounts to 34,000, this value refers to the population. The sample is referred to as the subset of the population or larger sample, the sample from the study corresponds to number of debit card users who were selected at random to participate in the survey. This value is 2000.
