Question

a ______ is one that has the same characteristics as the population of interest. representative population typical population systematic sample representative sample

Explanation:

A representative sample is defined as a subset of a population that mirrors the key characteristics of the entire population of interest. A systematic sample is selected via a fixed interval method, not defined by matching population traits. "Representative population" and "typical population" are incorrect terms here, as the description refers to a subset (sample), not the full population.

Answer:

representative sample
