Probabilistic Decision-Making
A sample is a subset of individuals or observations drawn from a larger population, used to make inferences about that population. By studying a sample, researchers can save time and resources while still obtaining valuable information that reflects the characteristics of the entire group. Samples are fundamental in statistical thinking as they allow for the application of various statistical techniques to estimate parameters and test hypotheses without needing to survey an entire population.
