Its the group of the people that the selected group that completes the survey represents. For example if a teacher randomly selected ten kids for a survey to see what a classes favorite movie is. The class would be the population of that survey. sources- 7th grade advanced math class, we just did surveys :) :) -J
It is not always better to survey as many people as possible. The sample size needs to be representative of the population being studied to draw accurate conclusions. Too large a sample can be costly and time-consuming, while too small a sample may not provide reliable results. It is important to strike a balance between sample size and representativeness for meaningful survey results.
A sample is a portion and a census measures absolutely everyone in the whole country. A representative sample measures a small number of people who fit a particular category of people: surveying 200 white male smokers between 20 and 40 who have had surgery for throat cancer (out of a total number of say 35,000 men who fit that profile).
Researchers define a "population" which consists of elements with defined characteristics. Example: All the matriculating students at Providence College. If the researcher studies the entire population as defined above, it is called a "census". If, on the other hand, the researcher takes a subset of the population, a sample, and studies it it will be a sample survey (or study in more general terms.)
Both census and sample survey are methods used to collect data from a population. However, while a census attempts to gather information from every individual in the population, a sample survey collects data from a subset of the population. Both methods aim to provide insights and statistics about the population under study.
Employees are chosen by a simple random sample and interviewed by their manager. or Employee are divided into six salary ranges and the top and bottom ranges are randomly sampled to fill out an anonymous survey.
The leading questions in a sample survey is the purpose of the survey and the expectations of the interviewees.
There are two results available. The number of employees out of a hundred that responded to the survey.And the number that actually responded - if only 90 responded, then the survey is out of 90, not 100.The information can be further broken into percentages, depending on the questions asked in the survey.
It's not.
The population is every data point you intend to generalise the survey results to. The sample frame is those data points that you can pick from for the survey. The sample is which of these data points you actually survey, and the sample size is how many of those data points there are. For instance, if you have 700 students in a school, and you have access to 300 of them, and decide to give 30 of them a survey, the sample size is 30.

They are usually anonymous.
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.
