What is sample?
The sample represents a small part or parcel of the researched population. In practice, the sample aims to provide important data about the researched population (whatever the researcher's objective is).
In this dimension of reality, the researcher manages to have a clear notion of the characteristics related to the investigated population. As a classic example of a sample involving the American population, we can highlight: the portion of the population that declares itself as indigenous (with cultural traits originating from native or indigenous peoples).
