<strong>Biostatistics</strong> results of periodic censuses and other special enumeration of populations, the data on vital events relate to an underlying population and yield descriptive measures such as birth rates, morbidity rates, mortality rates, life expectancies, and disease incidence and prevalence rates. • population (also called source population or target population or reference population) - the entire group of interest, to which the investigators would like to generalize the results of the study, and from which a representative sample is to be drawn. • sample - A sample is a part of the population. Example: A representative sample of 400 under-five children was taken from a population of 2500 under-five children in a certain district to study the level of malnutrition of the area. 11
