Stella · Answer 1

Population = 34,000

Sample = 770

Step-by-step explanation:

Population: Total number of students who attend the university

Sample: A portion of total students selected to conduct the study and generalise the conclusions to the entire population.

Population = 34,000 students who attend the university

Sample = 770 students (400 female + 370 male) randomly selected

Therefore, the population of the study is 34,000 and the sample is 770.
