Expert Solution
Step 1

We are given a study in which opinions of 50 people are recorded regarding the self perceived levels of happiness.

 

In statistics, population is the collection of all the individuals for a particular characteristic under the study.

A sample is a smaller set of data collected by the researcher to study attributes of a larger population.

An independent variable  is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable.
