Please Help ASAP! Marking brainliest!! What is the best definition for “sample” as used in statistics?

a.) the entire population of the group
b.) a part of the population that represents the entire population
c.) the difference between the maximum and minimum values observed
d.) a measure of how much the values within a population vary

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
