Suppose we are hired by a politician to determine the amount of support he has among the electorate. What population should we study? How do we choose an appropriate sample? There are many ways to sample a population, but there is one goal we need to keep in mind: we would like the sample to be representative of the population.

Data may be classified as qualitative, quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample.
