Every day in the summer months a supermarket receives a shipment of peaches. The supermarket's quality inspector arranges to have one box randomly selected from each shipment for which the number of "spoiled" peaches (out of 48 peaches in the box), which cannot be put out on the supermarket shelves, is recorded. DS 6.1.5 shows the data set obtained after 55 days.
(a) Define the population from which the sample is taken. Do you think that it is a representative sample?
