문화적 배경
In Germany, 'Stichprobe' (sample) is a concept taught early in school, reflecting the culture's emphasis on empirical evidence. The term 'Repräsentativität' is a high-level loanword used to signal academic rigor. During election nights, 'Hochrechnungen' (projections) are a national obsession, making this phrase part of the public consciousness.
Master the Passive
Germans love the passive voice (`wurde überprüft`) in formal writing. It makes you sound like an objective observer rather than someone just giving an opinion.
Don't Overuse It
This is a 'power phrase'. If you use it too often in casual conversation, you might come across as arrogant or overly academic.

What It Means
This phrase is the gold standard for data integrity in German. It means you didn't just pick the first ten people you saw. You made sure those ten people represent the whole crowd. It is about Gründlichkeit—that famous German thoroughness. If the sample isn't representative, the results are basically junk. By saying this, you are claiming your work is scientifically sound. It is a heavy-duty sentence for serious situations.
How To Use It
You will mostly use this in professional or academic settings. It follows a passive structure: wurde überprüft. This puts the focus on the action, not the person doing it. It sounds objective and cool-headed. You can use it when presenting a report or defending a thesis. Even if you are just talking about a survey you saw, it makes you sound very smart. Just be ready to explain *how* you checked it if someone asks!
When To Use It
Use this in a business meeting when discussing market research. It is perfect for university seminars or writing a master's thesis. You might also hear it on the news during election season. If you are debating politics with a friend and they cite a weird poll, drop this line. It shows you understand how statistics actually work. It is a great way to shut down a weak argument based on bad data.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this at a party when someone asks if you like the snacks. Saying Die Repräsentativität der Stichprobe wurde überprüft about a bowl of chips is a bit much. Unless you are being very sarcastic, it will make you sound like a robot. Avoid it in casual texts unless you are joking with a fellow student. It is too stiff for a first date or a quick chat with your neighbor. Keep it for the office or the library.
Cultural Background
Germans value data, facts, and precision. There is a cultural distrust of 'gut feelings' in professional life. This phrase reflects the importance of the Stichprobe (sample) in German logic. The word Stichprobe actually comes from the metal industry. It originally meant taking a small 'stab' or 'sting' of molten metal to test its quality. Today, it is the backbone of German sociology and market analysis.
Common Variations
You might hear Ist die Stichprobe repräsentativ? as a question. Another common one is Die Stichprobe ist nicht aussagekräftig, which means the sample tells us nothing. If you want to be more active, say Wir haben die Repräsentativität geprüft. This sounds a bit more direct and less like a formal report. Some people just say Die Datenbasis stimmt, which is a more relaxed way of saying the same thing.
사용 참고사항

The 'Stichprobe' Secret
The word 'Stichprobe' is used for everything from blood tests to quality control in factories. It's a very versatile word for any 'random check'!
