Introduction:
Statistics are used everywhere; we see statistics in use every day; statistics is used to answer important and practical questions. Statistics are useful in almost all disciplines.
They are used in statistical analysis of results of an experiment, prediction of future values, growth and trend analysis, systematic presentation of data in the form of tables, diagrams and graphs.

I. Probability

A. Simple- When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T)

B. Stratified- In general the size of the sample in each stratum is taken in proportion to the size of the stratum. This is called proportional allocation. Suppose that in a company there are the following staff: male, full-time: 90; male, part-time: 18; female, full-time: 9; female, part-time: 63 and we are asked to take a sample of 40 staff, stratified according to the above categories.

C. Random-In a cooking gas bottling plant, thousands of cylinders are filled and dispatched to the outlets every day. Should there be an inspection from the department of weights and measures, they check by random sampling; taking 5 or 10 cylinders at random and checking the weight or the pressure of the gas in the cylinder.
D. Sytematic-Suppose we have six schools with populations of 150, 180, 200, 220, 260, and 490 students respectively and we want to use student population as the basis for a PPS sample of size three.

E. Cluster- a study with relatively large square fixed area plots of 50 m x 50 m had been carried out, on which all tree positions were mapped. Because the individual plots were relatively large, there were only resources available to measure.The small sample size led to a fairly high value of the estimated.

F. Multi-Stage- Highway 155 has a length of 85 miles. Ten of its 85 one-mile segments were selected and inspected. Two of these

    Our team will use surveys as our instrument to collect our qualitative data which will then be analyzed and converted into quantitative data. These surveys will be administered or offered at different levels according to department, skill level, and tenure. Since this research is steered towards improving the workplace for the current employees it is only fair that all employees within the workplace submit a completed survey. The stratified sampling method will be used to address the issues per department, skill level, and tenure. This will enable researcher the ability to assess the skills training issues per department and the issues concerning pay and workload. “Stratified sampling is a probability sampling technique wherein the researcher divides the entire population into different subgroups or strata, then randomly selects the final subjects proportionally from the different strata” (Sincero, 2012).…

    Statistical data dates back to as early as Ancient Greek time, where it was introduced by John Graunt, William Petty and Pascal in the 16th century. It was then re-introduced by Gottfriend Achenwall in the 17th century. This was a very exciting time for scientists, astronomers and physicists alike as it raised the confidence and knowing that the laws of nature were not of divine intervention. As the years went on, new mathematical discoveries were made such as census data, economy, mortality demographics, and the International Statistical Congresses, which all led to changing its name to “statistics”.…
