made up of a large number of subjects

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A good sample should be a representative subset of the population we are interested in studying, therefore, with each participant having equal chance of being randomly selected into the study.
Detailed explanation-2: -In order to be a representative sample, the sample group must represent the population as a whole. For instance, if the researcher’s population of interest has 60% of people ages 18-25 and 40% of people ages 26-40, then the representative sample must also reflect this ratio.
