Representative.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Statistics, sampling can be defined as a process used to collect or select data (objects, observations, or individuals) from a larger statistical population using specific procedures.

A representative sample has characteristics similar to those of the entire population and, therefore, can be used to draw a conclusion about the (general) population. Thus, it is considered typically to be a subset of population and can be used to accurately make conclusions and reflect the characteristics of the larger sample (population).
