Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In research, the group that researchers want to generalize their results to is known as the population. The sample is a smaller group within the population that is studied in order to make inferences about the population as a whole. Sampling error refers to the differences between the sample and the population that arise due to chance, while "general group" is not a commonly used term in research.
