Explain the difference between population and sample.
"The entire number of items in a large group" would be defined as the
population. (Module 1) The sample is then taken from the population by a
researcher and is studied.The sample taken from the population is, in fact, the
subset of the population. You need the population to get the sample and without
the population, there can be no sample.
