Biostatistics Assignment Sample, Sampling, Population Sample Sampling Population

Biostatistics covers key concepts related to sampling from populations including: 1) A sample consists of observations drawn from a larger population and a statistic describes a characteristic of the sample, while a parameter describes the same characteristic for the population. 2) Sampling is the process of selecting samples from a population and helps make statistical inferences about the population. 3) Probability sampling methods assign each population member a known chance of selection, while non-probability sampling does not. Common probability and non-probability sampling techniques are described.
