A group of individuals of the same species that live in the same geographic region.
The number of people living in an area.
Group of individual organisms of the same species living within a defined area.
a group of individuals of the same species, forming a breeding unit and sharing a habitat
Any group of individuals, usually of a single species, occupying a given area at the same time
A population is a collection of units that we want to make statements about by estimating some population characteristic.
The number of people inhabiting a specific area.
Organisms of the same species that occupy the same area.
the number members of a species living in a particular area .............. back
the total number of the same kind of living thing in a particular environment ; i.e., the number of dandelions on your front lawn; the number of tomato plants in your garden.
a group of organisms of the same species that can interbreed.
All the objects from which a sample could be drawn for an experiment.
The entire group about which the researcher wants to generalize.
( Stat). The aggregate of all units however, sampled, forming the subject of study. Syn . Universe. ( BCFT.).
Everybody (or thing) of a defined type, which could possibly be surveyed. Often the number of adults in a defined geographical area or market. Also known as universe.
This is a vague term used in a general way for the reference framework of the problem, e.g., the mathematical model or the actual population from which we are sampling, or the set of all possible values of a variable or measurement.
a community os individuals within a species where mating occurs.
The entire group of research participants (or test trials) about which the investigator wants to draw conclusions. See also sample.
Group of organisms interbreeding with one another, presumably representing a species.
In statistics, the entire aggregate of individuals or subjects, from which samples can be drawn. See also sample, target population.
a group of individuals of the same species that occupies a particular space (There was a large population of Pine Barrens Tree Frogs in the abandoned cranberry bog.)
The number of people who live in any given area including a neighborhood, city, State, country, etc.
The whole of the material from which a sample may be taken.
Groups of individuals of the same species.
The entire collection of observations to which the study results generalize. The study sampling procedures will define the accessible study population. Note that the characteristics of the population are called the population “parameters.” The population parameters are usually estimated from the “statistics” observed in a sample of the population.
The larger group to which the survey results are to be inferred and which a sample represents. For example, a population can be all adult education students, all students who had a goal of employment who attended an adult education program or all residents of the US.
A complete set of data in which there is interest, e.g. organizations, people, managers etc.; from this population a sample will be drawn.
the number of people in a designated area; Population, Wealth
A group of organisms of the same species relatively isolated from other groups of the same species. See deme.
This term is usually applied to the total number of a given species in a defined habitat or ecosystem - such as the population of frogs in a small pond, or the global population of minke whales. It can also be used in a genetic sense to mean a group of individuals of a species that share similar genotypes.
A population contains every member of a defined group of interest.
A theoretical, infinitely large sample
A group of individuals in a species that share a common gene pool.
The total number of people living within a certain geographical area.
A group of organisms belonging to the same species that occupy a well-defined locality and exhibit reproductive continuity from generation to generation.
a group of animals or plants of one species that are spatially separated from other groups
A population is a group of individuals ranked by fitness.
group of similar individuals living in the same general area Pore--an open space in rocks and soils
Updated from the 1990 Census of Population and Housing, total Population is a head count estimate of all people living in a given geographic area as of January 1, 1997. It includes people living in group quarters, such as colleges, hospitals, institutions, and nursing homes, as well as armed forces personnel permanently assigned to the area.
A group of interbreeding individuals of the same species; they are separated but not isolated from other interbreeding groups of the same species.
The total number, usually of people, in the group being studied. In some studies, the population may be organizations, records, or events instead of people.
A group of items from which a sample is taken for statistical measurement.
A group of interbreeding organisms in a particular locale exhibiting a unique set of characteristics such as patterns of growth and reproductive strategies.
the entire set of data from which a sample is selected and about which the IS Auditor wishes to draw conclusions.
the number of a specific species in a given area
The number of a particular species in a defined area.
a group of organisms belonging to the same species, either those living in a given geographical area or those dispersed throughout the world. Organisms in a population are capable of interbreeding.
Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria for a particular study.
A group of organisms of the same species that interact in a defined area.
The entire set of persons that have at least one common characteristic of interest to the researcher. The sample is selected from the population.
The set of all possible subjects from which a sample can be drawn.
Any group of organisms coexisting at the same time and in the same place and capable of interbreeding with one another.
a group of phenomena that have something in common. The population is the larger group, whose properties (parameters) are estimated by taking a smaller sample from within the population, and applying statistical analysis to the sample.
The inhabitants (numbers and type) of an environment.
a group of individual living things that can interbreed.
Literally means "all the people" and in research the term is most commonly used to refer to a specific group of people. However, in a research context, population refers to all the members or objects of any defined group which might be taken or about which information might be given. A research population refers to the entire group to which the research results apply e.g., a relevant age group, or equipment group such as syringes.
All possible individuals making up a group of interest in a study.
A well-defined group of individuals, objects or events. All members of a population have at least one known characteristic in common. Researchers use data from samples to generalize findings to a population.
(of a species) A subgroup of a species coexisting in the same time and area. Population may also be used in a different sense to refer to the number of individuals in a defined group.
the people who live in an area.
Exhaustive set of observations from a “universe.†EX: All of the students who took the state boards at a given testing date and location constitute the entire domain of generalization for that testing occasion. There is no probability of error (other than computational error) when characterizing a domain based on a population sample. [See also sample
the total collection of objects, media, or people to be studied and from which a sample is to be drawn.
