77 chars

Generation

Sampling bias occurs when certain members of a population are systematically more or less likely to be selected for a sample than others, resulting in a sample that doesn't accurately represent the population. This leads to skewed or inaccurate conclusions that cannot be reliably generalized to the broader population. It's a critical concern in research, polling, and data analysis because it undermines the validity of study findings and can lead to flawed decision-making.
