Population consists of the entire population (e.g., every graduate student in an online program). Sample consists of a smaller number of participants from the population (e.g., first generation graduate students at Capella enrolled in an online program) and the number of participants you anticipate will be in your study[sample = N]. Participants should be described by the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the sample (e.g., must be 18 years of age, currently enrolled in an online program)
