With random sampling, you are hoping to get a representative sample of a whole, however statistically you could get a sample that is very different from the whole it was selected from. The larger the sample proportion of the whole, the better your sample will be. For example, a sample of 10 out of 100 is not as good as 20 out of 100. The bigger the sample the closer to the actual whole average you will get.
