Population

1,129 students took introductory statistics courses for
  different purposes: business, social sciences, or natural
  sciences. The researcher were also interested in the
  values of four specific variables for the population:
  handedness (right-handed or left-handed), sex, SAT Verbal
  score, and age.

        lives, but which are usually taught in isolation, if at all.
