Is the following statement true or false?

"A research study’s sample can be another research study’s population."

Yes it is true.

Briefly explain it?

Above statement can also be stated as "Study sample is a subset of accessible population".

There are two Types of Population in Research:-

Target Population:-

Target population refers to the ENTIRE group of individuals or objects to which researchers are interested in generalizing the conclusions. The target population usually has varying characteristics and it is also known as the theoretical population.

Accessible Population:-

The accessible population is the population in research to which the researchers can apply their conclusions. This population is a subset of the target population and is also known as the study population. It is from the accessible population that researchers draw their samples.

Basically, target population (also known as theoretical population) is the group to whom we wish to generalize our findings.

Study population (also known as accessible population) is the actual sampling frame, from which we randomly drew our sample. This is the group to whom we actually can generalize our findings, because we sampled from them.
