1010 Americans surveyed by a research group is the population.

Explanation:

Population:

A population is a set of collection of all possible observations whether finite or infinite, relevant to some characteristics of interest. A population may be real such as the height of all the college students or hypothetical such as all the possible outcomes from the toss of a coin.

Sample:

A sample is a part or subset of a population. For example the height of only tall students selected from the height of all the students or the set of heads in toss of coins.

Sample Statistics: A numerical quantity computed from a sample is called a statistics. It is usually represented by the ordinary Latin Letter.

Population Parameters: A numerical quantity representing a population is called a parameter. It is usually represented by the Greek Letters.
