Definition of Sample
The Canada social science dictionary [1] provides the following meaning of Sample: When it is difficult to conduct a census of an entire population, a researcher will work with a portion of that population, a sample, which is thought to be representative of the population in question. Researchers typically try to ensure that a sample has been drawn in a random fashion. This ensures that the distribution of population characteristic
s corresponds to the assumptions of probability theory. This allows inferences to be drawn about the population. Many times non-random samples are used, however.
