8 problems

A random sample is a type of sample that is the subset of the population without any bias to make inferences about the entire population. Here, the population refers to the random information provided. The random samples are highly likely to contain data that can be used to make predictions about the whole population. Students use the data from random samples to make inferences for the population.
