Use the Skillr scratchpad or a notebook to compare sample proportions with target population proportions and calculate coverage gaps.

SkillrHub quiz practice is built for curriculum-aligned revision with answer feedback and a clear review path.

60-second Quick Read

  • A sample can be biased if important groups are missing, under-represented or difficult to reach.
  • Representativeness can be checked numerically by comparing sample percentages with target population percentages.
  • Common trap: A large total sample can still be biased if the sampling method excludes part of the population.
