![Page 2: 1.2 Random Samples. A simple random sample of n measurements from a population is a subset of the population selected in a manner such that a) every sample](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649f305503460f94c4aa42/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
A simple random sample of n measurements from a population is a subset of the population selected in a manner such that
a) every sample of size n from the population has an
equal chance of being selectedANDb) every member of the population has an equal chance
of being included in the sample.*Guided Exercise 3 p.12

Use a random-number table• Table 1 in the Appendix p. A1
Sampling Techniques
Assign each object a number, write numbers on cards, mix up cards, choose random cards

Another use for a random-number table is in simulation.
A simulation is a numerical facsimile or representation of a real-world phenomenon.

2) Stratified sampling—the population is broken down into groups/classes (strata) and a random sample is chosen from each strata
i.e. Population: All ASFA studentsStrata: CW, DA, MS, MU, VA, TA
or7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th gradesormale students, female students

3) Systematic sampling—assumes the elements of the population are arranged into some natural order. Select a random starting point, then choose every kth element.
i.e. Population: People lined up to purchase concert tickets
Sample: choose every 5th person in line (with the starting person being one of the first 5 people in line)
*Easy way to draw a sample, but should not be used when the population is cyclic in nature (fabric mill/loom)

4) Cluster sampling—divide demographic area into sections. Randomly choose sections or clusters. Each member of a cluster is included in the sample.
Used by government agencies and private research organizations
5) Convenience sampling—uses data or results that are conveniently or readily available.
High risk of bias
