Every four years, when it is time to elect a new president, we pay much attention to surveys, which we usually call "polls." even though there are more than 300 million people in the united states, most political pollsters ask about a thousand people who they plan to vote for and use that information to predict how the election will turn out. who is the sample for a presidential poll?

A thousand peoples who they plan to take survey the are Sample.

Explanation:

Since Political parties can't ask all 300 million people about polls thus they choose thousand people to predict how the election will turn out. These thousand peoples are Sample.

The sample is said to be representative if it represents the whole population.

the president has the power to appoint federal judges, ambassadors, and other "principal officers” of the united states, subject to senate confirmation of such appointments.

manifest functions are the recognized and intended consequences of any social pattern, while latent functions are those unrecognized and unintended consequences. to analyze the manifest functions of any social institution, we have to study its contribution to the continuation of a group, community, or society.
