What is the relationship between a sample and population is statistics?
Information obtained from the sample can be extrapolated to the whole population using statistics.
What is represenatative sample of population?
A representative sample is one where the statistics of the sample are the same as the statistics for the parent population.
Why use sample instead of population?
When performing an experiment or gathering data for statistics, it would be very difficult to gather information for every member of the group's population. Instead, one can gather information from a sample large enough to be representative of the population.

What is the difference between population survey and sample survey?
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.

The general term statistics might be the set of numbers representing some sort of information from a sample population. The term data set can also be applied.
What is a subset from a larger population?

What is census in statistics?
Statistics: Survey of an entire population, as opposed to a sample survey.
What are the statistical methods called that use sample data to answer general questions about a population?
Inferential statistics. This branch of statistics involves making inferences or predictions about a population based on data collected from a sample taken from that population.

What is population mean in statistics?
