A small number of people that are used to represent a much larger population is called a sample. Samples are typically selected through various methods to ensure they reflect the characteristics of the larger population. This allows researchers to draw conclusions and make inferences about the population based on the data collected from the sample. Proper sampling techniques are crucial for the accuracy and validity of research findings.
let x represent the larger number. let y represent the smaller number.
When a number goes into a larger number, it is referred to as division. The larger number is called the dividend, and the number that divides it is called the divisor. The result of this operation is known as the quotient.
Population
Rational number.
The answer will depend on what the total population is.
A small number of people used to represent an entire population is called a sample. Typically the sample reflects characteristics of the larger population from which it is drawn.
A representative sample.
The use of a small number of people to represent a greater population is called sampling. The sample can be randomly chosen so that it is a reliable reflection of most of the population.
let x represent the larger number. let y represent the smaller number.
This is called "proportional representation." In the United States, the number of representatives each state has in Congress is determined by its population, as measured by the decennial census. This system aims to ensure that larger states have a greater voice in the legislative process, reflecting their higher number of constituents. As a result, states with smaller populations have fewer representatives, leading to a balance in representation based on population size.
When a number goes into a larger number, it is referred to as division. The larger number is called the dividend, and the number that divides it is called the divisor. The result of this operation is known as the quotient.
This method is called quadrat sampling. It involves counting the number of organisms in a small defined area (quadrat), then multiplying that count to estimate the total number of organisms in a larger area based on the assumption that the distribution is homogeneous.

California ranks number one in population. New York ranks number three in population.
Rational number.
It is called a variable
