Two types of sampling procedures 1. Probability based procedures 2. Convenience Sampling
![Page 4: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Probability Based Sampling Set up sampling procedure so that every
element in the population has a known chance of being included in the sample.
Allows use of probability statements with the analysis of the sample data.

Several Methods Simple Random Sampling Systematic Sampling Stratified Sampling Cluster Sampling Sequential Sampling
![Page 6: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Choice of Method depends on several factors.. Whether the population is homogeneous.
Homogeneous means you can use random or systematic sampling
Stratified or cluster sampling is necessary when attributes you are looking at are concentrated at different levels among different groups of the population.
![Page 7: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Factors continued The degree of accuracy required
Select sample design that make variance of sample statistics as small as possible for the size of sample we have chosen.
Sampling Error is the difference between the value of the statistic or sample variable.
![Page 8: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Factors continued The Cost of the Sampling Plan
Increase reliability, increase size, but increase costs as well.
Efficiency- A sample design is more efficient than another if it results in lower costs, but the same degree of reliability.
![Page 9: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Simple Random Sampling Every element in the population available for
sampling has an equal probability of being selected.
Randomness is CRUCIAL Example: Survey students at the door of the
Student Union. Not Random. Number of items placed in container at door, one
unit at a time.
![Page 10: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Systematic Sampling Used if we have access to a list of the
population. With this procedure we obtain the sample by
taking every kth unit in the population, where k stands for some whole number that is approx. the sampling ratio N/n. N= 10,000 listed names n= 500 K=N/n=20 thus we select a sample by taking every 20th
unit in the population.
![Page 11: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Systematic Sampling Cont’d Must choose a random starting point however. Randomly select a number between 1 and 20 If it is 8 then the sample consists of 8, 28, 48,
until we get all 500 values. Don’t use it for daily grocery store sales.

Stratified Sampling Know something in advance about the population. More efficient in this case than simple random
sampling. Strata are chosen so that they contain similar
characteristics and are more homogeneous than the population as a whole.
Then sample each stratum using a simple random approach.
![Page 13: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Proportionate Stratified Sample Assures number in the sample from each
stratum is proportional to the number of items in the population for the stratum. Example: Soil classes for stratum when looking at
yields.
![Page 14: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Disproportionate Sample Smaller proportion from lower standard
deviation. Useful in handling heterogeneous
populations.
![Page 15: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cluster Sampling Is diametrically opposed to stratified sampling Select groups of individual items called clusters from the
population at random, and then choose all or a sub sample of the items within each cluster to make up the overall sample.
Want differences between clusters to be as small as possible and differences between items within the cluster to be as large as possible.
We want a cluster to be a miniature of the population, so that any cluster is a representative sample.
Advantages: Low cost for a given degree of reliability
![Page 16: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sequential Sampling Widely used in quality control Involves testing a relatively small sample in
QC, and on the basis of the sample outcome, deciding whether to accept or reject the lot.
Keeps cost low. If small sample size does not lead to a clear
decision then we just increase then sampling size.
![Page 17: Agricultural and Biological Statistics. Sampling and Sampling Distributions Chapter 5](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103007/56649ed05503460f94bddbd6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nonprobability Samples Employ these for cost or efficiency reasons.
Convenience Sampling- men on the street. Judgment Sampling- use judgment, farmers with
best management practices Quota Sampling- construct sample to look like

Using the sample mean as a random variable to construct a sampling distribution of the mean.
Since the sample means have frequencies of occurrence we can place them in a probability distribution.

Use Expected Value Formula
This gives the same value as the population mean. This relationship always holds and is formally stated by the central limit theorem.

Central Limit Theorem If random samples of size n observations are drawn
from a population with a finite mean µ and standard deviation , then the sample mean x is approximately normally distributed with mean µ and standard deviation /√n when n is large.
