Answer to Question 1

Tarantism is a form of mass madness characterized by wild dancing. The
behavior came to be viewed as a
consequence of having been bitten by a tarantula.

Answer to Question 2

Sampling is the procedure used to select subjects to study. As it is not possible to study all of the population of interest, a subset of the population is selected. The sample studied needs to resemble the larger population on all relevant variables so that findings made when studying the sample can be generalized to the population. In other words, results obtained with a sample should provide accurate information about the larger population.
