Similarity: Both are counts of people/animals/things.
Difference: Population is the total # of things, while sample is the # of things that you gather data on.
If you pick the right sample size, you can be pretty confident that the results of the sample data is the same as the results of the entire population.
Information obtained from the sample can be extrapolated to the whole population using statistics.
population is the number of citizens living in a defined geographical area. Sample is a number taken from the population being the sample to research for a topic about the populations' behavior or habit, etc.
The same basic formula is used to calculate the sample or population mean. The sample mean is x bar and the population mean is mu. Add all the values in the sample or population and divide by the number of data values.
The sample regression function is a statistical approximation to the population regression function.
A population survey, better known as a census, entails the collection of each unit in the population. In sample survey information is collected from a subset of the population. The subset, or sample, needs to be selected carefully so that it is representative of the whole population and, if that requirement is met, statistics based on the sample are good estimators for the corresponding population parameters.
From a sample of a population, the properties of the population can be inferred.
A representative sample is a randomly selected subset of the population.
A sample of a population is a subset of the population. The average of the population is a statistical measure for some variable of the population.
A sample is any subset of the total population. A representative sample is one that is chosen so that its characteristics are similar to that of the population.
Information obtained from the sample can be extrapolated to the whole population using statistics.
A sample consists of a small portion of data when a population is taken from a large amount.
What is the difference between the population and sample regression functions? Is this a distinction without difference?
A population includes all members of a defined group. A sample, on the other hand, is just a part of the population.
The relations depend on what measures. The sample mean is an unbiased estimate for the population mean, with maximum likelihood. The sample maximum is a lower bound for the population maximum.
You calculate the actual sample mean, and from that number, you then estimate the probable mean (or the range) of the population from which that sample was drawn.
The answer depends on the underlying variance (standard deviation) in the population, the size of the sample and the procedure used to select the sample.
the sampled population includes all people whom are included in the sample, the targeted population is what the statistics practitioner is targeting or questioning
