    Sampling is the process of choosing samples from a population. This involves selecting a subset of individuals or items from a larger group in order to make inferences or draw conclusions about the entire population. Sampling is an important technique used in research and data analysis, as it allows researchers to study a smaller, more manageable group that represents the larger population of interest. By selecting samples carefully, researchers can ensure that their findings are valid and applicable to the broader population.
