Why is it important that samples are representative from the population? Define both sample and population and provide an example of each.
What will be an ideal response?
Populations are groups of interest that we wish to make conclusions about. Samples are groups chosen at random from the population. We want samples to be representative of the population so that we can make accurate conclusions about the population using the sample. An example of a population would be “all customers of our store” whereas an example of a sample would be “customers that chose to complete our survey.”
