A sample is a subcollection of members selected from a population. (Ref Triola, Elementary Statistics). A sample may be real or hypothetical. Real- Ten patients at the hospital were interviewed about the care they received. Hypothetical- Repeatedly drawing n independent, and identical values X1, X2... Xn from a normal distribution to form a random sample, the mean of this sample should conform to a normal distribution, if the sample size is greater than 30.
