Question

What do you mean by Population in statistics? How would you use the random sampling method when you want to select a sample of 3 students out of 10 students in your class? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

If you need a sample size n from a population of size x, you should select every x/nth individual for the sample. For example, if you wanted a sample size of 100 from a population of 1000, select every 1000/100 = 10th member of the sampling frame.
