The Foley Products Company has designed a new blend of concrete they believe will be twice as strong as their current high quality concrete. This new blend of concrete is believed to produce batches with a population mean strength of 15,000 psi and a population standard deviation of 2,000 psi. To validate this belief, they collect a random sample of 49 concrete batches out of all the batches produced at their plant in a particular week. The mean strength of the random sample of 49 concrete batches is measured to be 14,731 psi. Select the correct description of the population in this study.

Answer:

All of the batches of the new blend of concrete made at their plant in a particular week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population refers to all the subjects or data which which meets the condition or requirement of a certain experiment or research. This means that all the set of similar items or subjects which is of interest in a certain study is the population. In the scenario above, the population will be the set of all the new blend concrete which are made in the plant within a certain week. Thereafter, if a sample is required it will be drawn from these set of data or observation.
