The consequence of this is that the percentage of yellow candies is wrong, this is the reason that the sample is selected in a random and not representative way.

Explanation:

By representative we mean that a sample in a study or analysis must always show the greatest number of variables of the population or of the set in the correct way.

The analysis samples, being representative, give us more certainty of the correctness of the percentages, indices, rates that are expressed in the form of data.
