Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks very much for this, Yorkshireman. "In der empirischen Forschung bezeichnet die Grundgesamtheit (auch Population, Zielpopulation oder target population) die Menge aller potentiellen Untersuchungsobjekte für eine bestimmte Fragestellung. Aus pragmatischen Erwägungen wird normalerweise nicht die Grundgesamtheit, sondern eine Stichprobe untersucht, die für die Grundgesamtheit repräsentativ ist."
