Population vs Sample

The first step of every statistical analysis you will perform is to determine whether the data you are dealing with is a population or a sample.

A population is the collection of all items of interest to our study and is usually denoted with an uppercase N. The numbers we’ve obtained when using a population are called parameters.
A sample is a subset of the population and is denoted with a lowercase n, and the numbers we’ve obtained when working with a sample are called statistics.

Populations are hard to define and observe. On the other hand, sampling is difficult. But samples have two big advantages. First, after you have experience, it is not that hard to recognize if a sample is representative. And, second, statistical tests are designed to work with incomplete data; thus, making a small mistake while sampling is not always a problem.

Was anyone else totally mesmerized by the little chefs chopping through the entire explanation of representative samples?

You've made me gain better understanding of population and sample.

I have a manageable population size of 245. During my proposal, panelists advised me to use the entire population instead of using sample. However during data collection, I was able to get 120 data from targeted 245. Is it acceptable?

Thank you guys, explained it very well

[naumanzahid]

wrong
any measurement from sample is called statistic.

How large is the sample size required for the specific kind of quantitative research? How large is the sample size required for the specific kind of quantitative research?
What are the different steps in conducting the specific kind of quantitative research?

hi: was wondering abt the statement "samples have two big advantages. second, statistical tests are designed to work with incomplete data". Please could you describe statistically (ie demonstrating its requirement in a mathematical formula) how this is? Is it because statistical tests use sampling distributions of a statistic?

the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more

[grantmooney]

those chefs are really getting after it

[allisonfortune]

Is there a difference between population and implied population?

[divyanshusingh]

[isaaczacroland]

I really don't know how to determined wether the data in my question is a sample or population. If my data has an outlier does it mean its a sample?

Hello in a research the population size is 10 and I am doing a quantitative research would this be questioned by the thesis panelist.

[asiaashworth]

I got a full mark in my final exam because of you, I 😍 this

Need one of these that shows how to tell if a sample came from a population.
