This law is fundamental in sampling theory and ensures that a sample is representative of the population from which it is drawn. It relies on the principle of probability, which guarantees that random selection leads to an accurate reflection of the population's properties. This law is crucial in fields like business statistics where sampling is essential for data analysis.
