Statistical error

In statistics

sampling errors are incurred when the statistical characteristics of a population are estimated from a subset

Or sample

Of that population.Since the sample does not include

All members of the population

Statistics of the sample
Such as :
Means and quartiles

Generally differ from the statistics of the entire population.The difference between the sample statistic and population parameter is considered the sampling error.For example

If one measures the height of a thousand individuals from a population of one million

The average height of the thousand is typically not the same as the average height of all one million people in the country.
