| rufi | sample is the subset of populaion |
| bdaguy | Wording is definitely designed to trip you up. If you have a population that you wish to sample from and you end up sampling all of those things (as described above), your sample = population. For the purpose of the exam, if you gather data on everything that can be sampled, you have a "population". Anything less is a "sample". |
