State
A random sample gives every member of the population an equal chance of selection, which is what makes a poll's responses resemble the population's.
Show
One thousand randomly selected adults can stand in for a country; a million volunteers cannot.
Watch for
Representativeness comes from the method of selection, not the number selected.
