ValueError: Sample Larger Than Population or Negative - Error Explanation

This error message, 'ValueError: Sample larger than population or is negative', signifies that the provided sample size is either greater than the population size or is a negative value. This typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:

• Incorrect Input Data: The data you're feeding into the algorithm might contain errors, such as an inaccurate population size or a negative sample size. Double-check your input data to ensure it's accurate and consistent.
• Algorithm Design Flaw: There might be an issue with the algorithm itself, leading to incorrect calculations or assumptions regarding sample and population sizes. Review the algorithm's logic and ensure it properly handles the relationship between samples and populations.
