Off-Campus Housing. A university's housing and residence office wants to know how much students pay per month for rent in off-campus housing. The university does not have enough on-campus housing for students, and this information will be used in a brochure about student housing. They obtain a list of the 12,304 students who live in off-campus housing and have not yet graduated and mail a questionnaire to 200 students selected at random. Only 78 questionairres are returned. (a) What is the population in this study? Be careful: about what group do they want information? (b) What is the sample? Be careful: from what group do they actually obtain information? The important message in this problem is that the sample can redefine the population about which information is obtained.
