🎯 Practice Questions
1️⃣ What is the difference between a population and a sample?
2️⃣ What is the difference between a parameter and a statistic?
3️⃣ How does simple random sampling work?
4️⃣ When would stratified sampling be useful?

🎯 Key Takeaways
✅ Population = entire group being studied.
✅ Sample = subset of the population.
✅ Parameter describes a population.
✅ Statistic describes a sample.
✅ Simple random sampling gives each member an equal chance.
✅ Systematic sampling selects at regular intervals.
✅ Stratified sampling ensures important subgroups are represented.
✅ Cluster sampling selects naturally occurring groups.
✅ Convenience sampling is easy but can introduce bias.
✅ A large sample is not necessarily a representative sample.
✅ Sampling is fundamental to statistical analysis and large-scale Data Science.
Understanding sampling will prepare you for the next major statistical topic: Hypothesis Testing, where you'll learn how to determine whether observed differences or relationships in data are statistically significant.
