Sampling Theory
Sampling is the process of selecting a sample
from a population and is widely used in business
and economics, as a means of gathering useful
information about a population.
Data are gathered from samples and conclusions
are drawn about the population as a part of the
inferential statistics process.
Often, a sample provides a reasonable means for
gathering such useful decision-making
information that might be otherwise unattainable
and unaffordable.
