Sampling

What is a sample?
A sample is something you take a bit from EG: There was 100 cookies you sample 10 cookies so that is 10% of the cookies.

Why take a sample?
You take a sample so you dont take everything so you still have most of the thing you are taking .

- what are some examples of sampling done irl?
In hospital they take a sample of blood they dont take all of the blood so you dont die.
- what does the word ‘population’ mean?
It means all of the people or things you are testing.

- how can you tell if are you sampling the right population?
It wont be too big or too small it will be just right and they are even girls and boys.
