1. a portion of a large group - > sample

the sample is the part that you select from a population to analyze.

2. choosing a sample so that every member has an equal chance of being chosen - > random sample

in a random sample any member of the group has the same probabilities to be selected.

3. choosing a sample from people who are under 15 years old - > biased sample

when you select based on a characteristic of the group you are running a biased sampling.

4. using the responses of a small group to make conclusions about the large group. - > estimating from a sample
