What is the best way of choosing a sample to statistically represent a population? Why?

What is a biased sample? How can biased sampling affect the statistical study of a
population?
Search the Internet and give two or more real-world examples of biased sampling
leading to unexpected or unfavorable outcomes. In each case, how could the sample
have been improved to make a more accurate inference about the population?
