Good evening
Please answer the following question:
What is the appropriate nonparametric statistical test to identify the significance of the differences between the sample and the population?

makes an important basic point. The other basic point is that the population value is not generally known precisely. So you will have to factor in the standard error of the population estimate.Oh – and there is one situation that is dangerous : making an estimate from a sample of the population, and calling this the population value. The making an estimate from a subgroup within that sample. The problem here is that the participants in your subsample are double-counted – they are in the estimate for the population value and the estimate for the subsample value.
May not apply in your case.
