In a study, researchers designed a program to prevent college students from smoking. The program ran for a year at a college on randomly selected 200
students. Before the program was administrated, there were 62 students smoked almost everyday and 138 students did not smoke. After a year, the same group of students was surveyed again. There were 32 students who smoked a year ago decided not to smoke any more. However, 18 students who did not smoke a year ago start smoking now. The survey result is recorded in the following table.

| After the program | Do not smoke | Smoke |
| Do not smoke | 120 | 32 |
| Smoke | 18 | 30 |

Sometimes the results from a restricted sample may not be the same as the results from a larger population. For example, the results from the analysis on patients in a hosptial may be significantly different from the results from a sample taken from the general population. Therefore, the results from analyzing a sample from the patients in a hosptial may be signficantly different from the results from a sample taken from the general population.
