Abstract:
Whenever sampling procedures for selecting the persons to be interviewed are used in empirical social research this is done in order to build models of the population by means of which the interesting phenomena can he studied. The size ratio between reality and the model will depend on how small the details of the basic population are which are to be found again and recognized with certainty.
