Sampling risk: The risk that a sample of data used for analysis may not be representative of the population from which it was drawn. It is often used in statistical analysis to evaluate the potential for bias in data samples. Examples of sampling risk include using a sample that is too small to accurately represent the population or using a sample that is not randomly selected.
