Which of the following is a measure of how well a sample approximates the characteristics of a population?

A) sampling accuracy
B) sampling error
C) sampling generalizability
D) sampling consistency

Sampling Error

The discrepancy between a sample statistic and its corresponding population parameter, arising purely by chance because the sample is not a perfect representation of the population.

  • Comprehend the notion of sampling error and its consequences for the precision of research findings.
  • Acquire knowledge about the linkage between sample representation and the ability to generalize findings to the wider population.
