Because we usually don't have access to the entire population. How could you find every person in the United States and ask them if they like chocolate?
A representative sample is one where the statistics of the sample are the same as the statistics for the parent population.
100
Information obtained from the sample can be extrapolated to the whole population using statistics.
The sample mean may differ from the population mean, especially for small samples.
In statistics, "x-bar" (denoted as (\bar{x})) represents the sample mean, which is the average of a set of values in a sample. It is calculated by summing all the observations in the sample and dividing by the number of observations. The sample mean is used to estimate the population mean and is a key concept in inferential statistics.

Statistics: Survey of an entire population, as opposed to a sample survey.
n is the sample size.
