It is easy to find this material. This link adds nothing to the vast amount of tutorials in probability.

They are giving sampling examples as if I, as a data scientist - would be sampling actual human population.

Give me real examples of data sampling in the wild - how did you obtain this and that dataset? How did you clean up data x? How did you infer that the API provider’s server was misconfiguring the parameter X and therefore 10% of our cashflow was attributed to Wednesday last week instead of today?

This feels more like wikihow.
