When is choosing a sample from a population least likely to be appropriate? Select two options.

Sampling is least appropriate when the population is small, because it may be practical to survey everyone instead. It is also least appropriate when the sample’s proportions differ from the population’s, since that can make the results unrepresentative. A large population or a time-consuming full survey often makes sampling more useful, and a sample that reflects the population is desirable.
