It depends on what he whole is. It should be obvious that the size of a whole proton will be very very small whereas the size of the universe will be incredibly big.

If the size of a sample equals to the size of the population?

Sample is subset of the population so sample size and population size is different.However, as a subset can be the whole set, if the sample size equals the population size, you have sampled the entire population and you will be 100% accurate with your results; it may cost much more than surveying a [representative] sample, but you get the satisfaction of knowing for what you surveyed the population exactly.Using a sample is a trade off between the cost of surveying the whole population and accuracy of the result.A census is a survey of the whole population and could be considered that the sample size = population size; in this case the results are 100% accurate.The television viewing figures are calculated using a sample of the whole population and then extrapolating them to the whole population; depending upon how the same was chosen, including its size, will affect the accuracy of the results - most likely not more than 95% accurate.With a carefully selected (that is properly biased) sample you can prove almost anything!


What fractional part of a whole is the largest?

One 1th (1/1) of it is. That's the size of each piece when the whole remains in one piece.


What is the difference between sample size and sample unit?

sample size is the specific size of a thing like the how long or wide. while sample unit is the whole thing not referring to specific number size.


What happens to the size of each equal parts when you divide a whole into more and more equal parts?

As you divide a whole into more equal parts, the size of each individual part becomes smaller. For example, dividing a whole into two parts results in each part being half the size, while dividing it into four parts results in each part being a quarter of the size. Consequently, as the number of parts increases, the size of each part approaches zero. This illustrates the concept of limits in mathematics, where the size of each part diminishes as the divisions increase.


What whole number equals 0.5?

The smallest whole number is 1. But 0.5 is only half the size of 1. So 0.5 doesn't have what it takes to be a whole number, no matter what you do to it. There's no whole number that's equal to 0.5 .
