Sampling probability

Sampling probability is a way to measure chances. It's like flipping a coin. When you flip a coin, there is a fifty-fifty chance that it will be heads or tails. This type of chance is called a probability. Sampling probability is like this, but it is used to measure the chances of something happening in a larger group. For example, if you wanted to know how many people wanted ice cream, you could ask 10 people and then use their answers to figure out what percentage of the whole group probably wanted ice cream. That percentage is called a sampling probability.
