Detailed explanation-1: -In statistics, a population is a representative sample of a larger group of people (or even things) with one or more characteristics in common. The members of a sample population must be randomly selected for the results of the study to accurately reflect the whole.
Detailed explanation-2: -A study of the entire population is called a census. However, performing a census is usually impractical, expensive and time-consuming, if not downright impossible. Therefore, nearly all statistical studies are based on a subset of the population, which we will call the sample.
Detailed explanation-3: -A sample in a research study is a relatively small number of individuals about whom information is obtained. The larger group to whom the information is then generalized is the population.
