Determine whether the data set is a population or a sample. Explain your reasoning. The temperature in four state capitals out of 50 Choose the correct answer below. A. Population, because it is a collection of temperatures for all of the state nbspcapitals. B. Sample, because it is a collection of temperatures for all of the state nbspcapitals comma but there are other countries. C. Sample, because the collection of temperatures for four state capitals is a subset of all state capitals. D. Population, because it is a subset of all state capitals.

The correct answer is C. Sample, because the collection of temperatures for four state capitals is a subset of all state capitals.

Step-by-step explanation:

we cannot fully understand this answer without first defining the parameters that are involved in the questions, the two key terms are; Population or sample.

Population: a population contains all the set of data which is in consideration and

Sample: Sample is the range of values in an experiment.

The main difference between a population :A population basically includes all  the elements from a set of data while  a sample only consists of  one or more observations drawn from the population.

we can say safely that a sample is a subset of a population.

Since we it have been stated that the temperatures of from four states capitals out of 50 states then our explanation supports our answer.

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.
