Understand representative sample: Understand the concept of a representative sample. A representative sample accurately reflects the characteristics of the population from which it is drawn.
Consider sample size: Consider the size of the sample relative to the population. If the jar contains a much larger number of coins, 17 coins might not be enough to ensure a representative sample.
