What is the population of interest?
all building contractors
all 1,000 bricks in the lot
the rest of the 850 bricks
the 150 bricks selected for inspection
the rest of the 700 bricks
What group constitutes the sample?
the 150 bricks selected for inspection
all building contractors
the rest of the 700 bricks
all 1,000 bricks in the lot
the rest of the 850 brickS
