Sampling
This is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population.
For example:
I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So i ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected New York state residents wheter they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents.
The population of interest are all the residents of New York State.
In this question:
Sample of 765 adults in the United states.
So the population under consideration in the data set are all the adults in the United States.
