Introduction
The total set of potential observations is named a population and the set of actual observation is hand is named a sample from this population. (Koch & Link, 2002)
The sample of data analysis in this assignment is concerned with level of satisfaction of 310 employees from Operations and Administration departments in London and Birmingham.
During the survey, answers was measured from 1 (low satisfaction) to 10 (high satisfaction).
In this assignment, for analysis was randomly taken survey results of 30 employees.
TASK 1
Random sampling is how a sample is drawn from a population, and it is related to the external validity of a study 's result. (Dattalo, 2010)
Random number is spontaneous number which can be found by different methods. As an example of random numbers can be roulette in casino when you never can predict or calculate it. In statistics, data often chosen randomly from selected range.
In Microsoft Office Excel it can be found by simple function random() or if function randbetween(min number,max number) which allow select random number from selected range.
In this assignment, the data was sampled using Microsoft Office Excel and function randbetween(1,310). This function gave us a random number from range 1 to 310.
After this we hold right bottom corner of cell and drag it unless it not reach size 10 by 30 cells.
After when 300 random numbers from range 1 to 310 was ready, we chose and highlight 30 numbers for our
