Sometimes, there are too much of the thing you are testing, so it is a lot easier to just take a sample.
For example, if there were twelve million weeds growing on a field and you wanted to see how many of them were dandelions, it would take forever to count all the dandelions on that field. It is more practical just to take a small sample.

What is population mean in statistics?
The population mean is the mean value of the entire population. Contrast this with sample mean, which is the mean value of a sample of the population.
Why is it only possible to estimate the mean median and quartiles?
In reality, a statistician never really has ALL the data. The data is instead taken from a sample of the whole population. If this sample is representative of the entire population, then any statistics based on the sample should be good estimates of the whole but probably not a perfect match. Of course the more data you get from the whole population the better the estimate, but it will always be an estimate unless you census the enitire population.
What is census in statistics?

What is a subset of measurements from a population?
A subset of measurements from a population is a smaller group of data points selected from the entire group of data points in the population. This subset is chosen to represent the overall characteristics of the larger population and is used for analysis or inference about the population as a whole.
A smaller number of people used to represent an entire population is called a?
The use of a small number of people to represent a greater population is called sampling. The sample can be randomly chosen so that it is a reliable reflection of most of the population.
Is a census a collection of data based on a sample or the entire population?
The entire population.
A sample in which each individual or object in the entire population has an equal chance of being selected?
This is known as a simple random sample, where each member of the population has an equal probability of being chosen. It is a fair and unbiased method of sampling that ensures representation from the entire population. Simple random sampling is commonly used in research studies and surveys to draw conclusions that can be generalized back to the larger population.
What is the entire group that the researcher is studying?
