RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The sample is the subset that is extracted from the population so that the parameters of the population can be predicted/estimated with the help of the sample parameters. It makes calculations easier and less time-consuming. Therefore, it can be said that a sample is a portion drawn from the population.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sampling is the statistical process of selecting a subset (called a “sample”) of a population of interest for purposes of making observations and statistical inferences about that population. Social science research is generally about inferring patterns of behaviors within specific populations.
