The difference between the distribution of gender in the sample and in the population is non-significant.
Although in general the distribution of ethnicity in our sample resembles the distribution in the population, due to the big sample size the difference between the distribution of ethnicity in the sample and in the population is significant, and the magnitude of the difference is medium.
The difference between the distribution of religiosity in the sample and in the population is significant, but the magnitude of the difference is small.
