What is sampling?

It is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population, which is a group containing elements of a population. A sample has to be representative of the population, that is, it has to involve all segments of the population.

For example:

I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So i ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected New York state residents wheter they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents.

In this problem, a sample of American teenagers aged 13 to 17 was taken, hence all American teenagers aged 13 to 17 is the population of interest.
