Best Answer

Usually we are interested in the characteristics of large populations of items or people. It would often prove costly or impossible to measure these characteristics for the entire population. We therefore measure them for a carefully selected sample of the population and attempt to make scientific inferences about the entire population from the characteristics of the sample.
