Introduction

Knowingly or unknowingly, we take several decisions based on sampling in our daily life For example, when we go to the market to buy grapes, we taste a few to decide whether the entire bunch of grapes is sweet and fresh. Similarly, when a teacher asks questions to a few students in the class to test whether they have understood the lesson or not, it means that the teacher is using sampling.
