samples
Small representative pieces
Samples are small portions taken from a larger whole to represent or test it: a blood sample, a fabric sample, a free sample at the grocery store.
In music, a sample is a snippet of recorded sound repurposed in a new composition: The track samples an old soul record.
To sample is to take or try such a portion: We sampled the local cuisine.
In statistics, a sample is a subset of a population used to draw conclusions about the whole.
