For a large enough sample, it will resemble a rectangle whose base will be the range of the variable and the height will be the reciprocal of the number (or width) of the base.

Selecting individuals at random- *apex
The bottom line is it would be wasteful and foolish to use the entire population when a sample, drawn scientifically, provides accuracy in representing your population of interest. Assessing all individuals may be impossible, impractical, expensive or even inaccurate.
(10, 15, 15, 15, 20) The answer above displays a sample in which the sample mean, sample median and sample mode assume the same value. If you were asking about populations, then the population mean, population median and population mode are the same whenever the probability density function for the population is symmetric. For example, the normal probability density function is symmetric, the t and uniform density functions are symmetric. Many are.
A sample is a subset of the population.
