Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The group that is actually being studied and data is collected from is called the sample. The population is the entire group of individuals that the sample is selected from. Sampling error is the amount of variability in a sample that is due to chance rather than the true difference between the population and the sample. "General group" is not a commonly used term in statistics.
