Differentiating Between Population and Target Population in Research Studies

Abstract

Research methods of any postgraduate study entail a description of a population of interest from which the target population and the sample are derived. A clear distinction between these concepts is essential for research studies, but it also extends to academic and business writing. The importance of differentiating between the population and target population in research cannot be overemphasised as these provide a backbone of any research study.
