Uniform Sampling

Uniform sampling is a method of selecting data points or samples from a larger dataset in such a way that each item has an equal chance of being chosen. This approach ensures that the sample accurately represents the entire group, avoiding bias. For example, if you have a bag of different colored candies, uniform sampling would involve randomly picking candies so that each color has an equal probability of being selected. It is commonly used in statistics and data analysis to obtain unbiased samples, helping researchers draw reliable conclusions about the whole population from their sample.
