Generation

**Sampling bias** occurs when some members of a population are systematically more or less likely to be selected for a sample than others, resulting in a sample that does not accurately represent the population. It matters because biased samples lead to incorrect conclusions and faulty predictions—any statistics, patterns, or relationships found in the sample won't generalize to the actual population, making research findings unreliable and potentially causing poor decisions in policy, medicine, business, or science.
