Population
Creation of an unnaturally uniform sample to represent a diverse population can be avoided by what?
Selecting individuals at random- *apex
What two features must a sample have if it is to accurately represent a population?
differences between quantitative and qualitative data
Difference between sample regression and population regression line?
AnswerA sample is a subset of a population. Usually it is impossible to test an entire population so tests are done on a sample of that population. These samples can be selected so that they are representative of the population in which cases the sample will have weights, strata, and clusters. But usually people use random samples. So it's not that the line is different, it's that the line comes from different data. In stats we have formulas that allow a sample to represent a population, if you have the entire population (again unlikely), you wouldn't need to use this sample formulas, only the population formulas.
What will happen if the sample you have drawn from the population does not represent the population?
You are studying the sample because you want to find out information about the whole population. If the sample you have drawn from the population does not represent the population, you will find out about the sample but will not find out about the population.
A subset of a population selected to represent the population is a?
sample

What two features must a sample have if its to accurately represent a population?
The sample must be large and random.
What two features must a sample have to accurately represent a population?
A sample must be representative, meaning that it reflects the characteristics of the population it is drawn from. It must also be large enough to minimize sampling error and increase the likelihood of capturing the population's diversity.
A smaller number of people used to represent an entire population is called a?
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.
What is it called when a sample doesn't represent the population being polled?
