You can have both, with references listing things you quote from or use in your work, and a bibliography listing other things you've read, but you've not used them in the main text of your document.

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.

By selecting samples carefully, researchers can ensure that their findings are valid and applicable to the broader population.
