 Identify which of the following situations involve sampling from a finite population and which involve sampling from infinite populations: (8 Points)
        1. Obtain a sample of personal banking customers for a major Canadian bank
This would be considered finite population because the number of personal banking customers is not infinite. There are other major Canadian banks, not just one.

      2. Obtain a sample of smartphones produced at an assembly line

        3. Obtain a sample of inbound customer service calls for the call centre of a large telecommunication company

        4. Obtain a sample of accounts receivable records for a mid-size trading company

 

I have answered 1. But am still confused on this concept. I think I am always viewing these problems in a "real world" or "humanly possible " scenario as opposed to a textbook theory. I honestly feel like these all could be Finite but am not sure.

Anyways, any help with explanantion would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year!

I think 2 would be not the same as 1 so, infinite I guess...

 If that is what you meant, I hav never heard of that before.
