Answer:

The answer is Sample Group.

Explanation:

A sample group is a small group selected by researchers to represent the most important characteristics of an entire population.

A sample group can be defined as the subset of a population. Basically researchers target a small group of population in order to have information about the whole population.

For example, we can ask the random 100 people present at a football match about their jobs and interests. Here Sample is 100 people, whereas the population is all the people in the stadium.

A sample group is a small group selected by researchers to represent the most important characteristics of an entire population. For example, if I want to learn about students’ attitudes about taking elective courses at a specific university, I would get a representative sample from among all the students enrolled at the university and conduct a survey with them. Those that take part in the survey are called participants and the larger group (all the students at the university) are called the target population.
