Representative sampling is the process of selecting a sample that accurately represents the population from which it is drawn. Alternative synonyms for representative sampling include random sampling, unbiased sampling, and probability sampling. Random sampling involves selecting individuals at random from the population, without any bias or prejudice in the selection process. Unbiased sampling specifically refers to a sampling method that is free from any bias or manipulation. Probability sampling emphasizes the importance of using a sample that is statistically representative of the population. Other synonyms for representative sampling include balanced sampling, stratified sampling, and systematic sampling. Regardless of the method chosen, representative sampling is essential in ensuring accurate and reliable research results.
