Key Concepts

Population

In statistics, a population refers to the complete group of individuals, events, or items that share a common characteristic, which are the focus of a study. It is the total set from which samples may be drawn when conducting research or statistical analysis.

Sample

A sample is a portion or subset of the population that is selected for the purpose of analysis. It is intended to represent the population in a study, enabling researchers to make inferences about the whole group while only analyzing part of it.

Subset

A subset is a set that contains only elements that are also in another set, known as the superset. In a statistical context, a sample is considered a subset of the population because it comprises selected members exclusively from that larger group.
