It is common practice to assume that the actual sample errors are representative of the population errors. This assumption is based on the idea that the sample is randomly selected and therefore is likely to be a good representation of the population. Assuming a 100% error rate is not practical as errors are a normal part of any process and assuming that the population errors are larger or smaller than the sample errors may not be accurate without further investigation.
