Question

It is not always possible to measure every individual in a population; what is the name of the representative group

Answer 1

Answer:

Sample

Step-by-step explanation:

The term that represents the description in the question is called sample.

Take for instance:

• 40 students selected from a class of 100
• 1000 people selected from a population of 100000

In the above descriptions:

40 and 1000 represent the samples while 100 and 100000 represent the populations, respectively.

Another example is when 10 cats are picked from an animal farm in order to study their eating pattern.

All these and many more represent sample.
