There are 600 Sephora locations in the United States. Christine randomly selected 40 stores, and then she randomly selected 100 customers from each of those stores. Less than 1% of her sample identified as heterosexual males. Based on her sample, the average spending at Sephora is $45. In addition, 340 customers in her sample revealed that they have VIB Rouge status, which the highest tier status that is reached when a customer spends $1,000 in a calendar year.

A study on wellbeing and stress of university students is conducted. The researcher drew a random sample of 5 departments on campus. Then he randomly sampled 100 students within each department that was selected and handed them the link to his online survey. Ultimately, only 30% of the sample responded. Amongst those who responded, 120 of them say they feel stressed.
