Answer

Brief Explanations:

In statistics, the population is the entire group of individuals or objects that we are interested in studying. Here, the mayor wants to know the feelings of the people of the city about a bottle tax. So, the entire group of interest is all the people in the city.

  • The option "all the people who live on the block" is a sample from the population (since the block is randomly selected from each election district).
  • The option "all the people who live on the block and are home that day" is an even more restricted sample (as it further limits by those who are home).

Answer:
