Question

37 multiple choice 2 points which statement best explains why population sampling is important in ecology? it allows ecologists to measure abiotic factors it provides population estimates when counting all individuals is impractical it eliminates experimental error it avoids the need for hypothesis testing

Explanation:

Population sampling is a statistical method. It is used when counting every single individual in a large population (like a large - scale ecological population) is not feasible. Measuring abiotic factors is not the main purpose of population sampling. Experimental error cannot be completely eliminated by sampling. And hypothesis testing is still often required in ecological studies even with sampling.

Answer:

It provides population estimates when counting all individuals is impractical.
