8. Sampling: What is Sampling and How Does It Help Us Gather Data?

Sampling is an important tool used in the process of gathering data. It is a process of selecting a subset of a larger population, in order to obtain information about the entire population. Sampling is used to reduce the cost and time of the data collection process, while still providing accurate results. 

When conducting a study, it is impossible to obtain data from every single member of the population. With sampling, researchers can select a small number of participants to represent the entire population. This allows researchers to save time and money while still obtaining an accurate representation of the entire population. 

Sampling can be done in a variety of ways, from simple random sampling to more complex stratified sampling. The method used will depend on the type of study and the population being studied. Regardless of the method used, sampling is an important tool for gathering data quickly and efficiently.

As a high school student I found ChatGPT to be very helpful. I hope other students will also find this series of blog posts to be useful.
