Statistical concept that larger the sample population (or the number of observations) used in a test, the more accurate the predictions of the behavior of that sample, and smaller the expected deviation in comparisons of outcomes.
A Sample to a Population
A biased sample is a Statistical Sample in which the sample is biased or have more samples of the things that is being influenced.

A sample size of one is sufficient to enable you to calculate a statistic.The sample size required for a "good" statistical estimate will depend on the variability of the characteristic being studied as well as the accuracy required in the result. A rare characteristic will require a large sample. A high degree of accuracy will also require a large sample.
Many statistical statements for a population which are based on a sample are not valid if the sample is not representative.

Statistical sampling is an objective approach using probability to make an inference about the population. The method will determine the sample size and the selection criteria of the sample. The reliability or confidence level of this type of sampling relates to the number of times per 100 the sample will represent the larger population. Non-statistical sampling relies on judgment to determine the sampling method,the sample size,and the selection items in the sample.

statistical sample
The law of large numbers states that as the number of observations in a sample increases, the sample mean will tend to approach the population mean. In other words, the larger the sample size, the more accurate the estimate of the population parameter. This law forms the basis for statistical inference and hypothesis testing.

A Sample to a Population
A sample should be representative of the population it is drawn from, have enough data points to provide reliable conclusions, and be selected randomly or systematically to minimize bias. Additionally, samples should be sufficiently large to ensure statistical significance.
The purpose of statistical inference is to obtain information about a population form information contained in a sample.
A biased sample is a Statistical Sample in which the sample is biased or have more samples of the things that is being influenced.
