  2. 71. Sampling and Sampling Error • Sampling- the selection of a subset of individuals from within a population to estimate characteristics of the whole population • Sampling Error- the difference between the results of two surveys or samples • Ex) if one survey finds Americans favor something 60% of the time, and another surveys finds that Americans favor it 65% of the time, the sampling error is 5% • Relation to U.S. Government • Shows how the U.S. people feel about a certain topic and therefore allows the government to see inside of the minds of the people. • Allows for government to see discrepancies between different topics • Example: Sampling (and by default, sampling errors) will be used, perhaps, in the upcoming presidential election to interpret the public’s opinion in order to plan a strategy
