Dr. Near selects a sample because she cannot include all people above the age of 65 in her experiment. A sample is a subset of a population that is selected to represent the larger group, which in this case is the population of individuals above the age of 65. It would not be accurate or feasible to include every individual in the population in the experiment, so a sample is selected to represent the population.
