SAMPLE Meaning and Definition

  1. A sample is a representative subset or portion of a larger whole group or population that is selected or taken for the purpose of analysis, study, or testing in order to draw conclusions or make inferences about the entire population. It is often used in statistical research, market research, or scientific experiments where it is impractical or impossible to collect data from the entire population.

    A sample is obtained by selecting individuals or objects from the population using a specific sampling technique, such as random sampling, stratified sampling, or convenience sampling. The selection process aims to ensure that the sample is diverse and unbiased, accurately reflecting the characteristics and variability of the larger population.

    The purpose of using a sample is to make inferences about the entire population based on the information gathered from the selected subset. By analyzing the sample, researchers can estimate population parameters or characteristics, such as the mean, standard deviation, or proportions, which can then be generalized to the whole population.

    Samples need to be carefully chosen to minimize sampling error and ensure the reliability and validity of the results. This involves considering factors like sample size, representativeness, and the sampling methodology employed to ensure that the insights gained from the sample accurately reflect the characteristics of the population being studied.

  2. • A specimen; a part shown as evidence of the quality or character of the whole; example.
    • To put up or take samples of.
