Types of Sampling In applications: Probability Sampling: Simple Random Sampling‚ Stratified Random Sampling‚ Multi-Stage Sampling * What is each and how is it done? * How do we decide which to use? * How do we analyze the results differently depending on the type of sampling? Non-probability Sampling: Why don’t we use non-probability sampling schemes? Two reasons: * We can’t use the mathematics of probability to analyze the results. * In general‚ we can’t count on a non-probability

A Mile in My Shoes by Katherine Hillman 1 Someone once said‚ you don’t really know a person until you walk a mile in their shoes. Whoever said this must have met many a person like me.

We then ran away and left the gifts as a surprise. Who

provide the required estimates with associated margins of uncertainity‚ arising from examining only a part and not the whole. Methods of Sample Selection Simple Random Sampling In this method each item of the data ( population) has the same probability of being selected in the sample. The selection is usually made with the help of random numbers. * Suppose there are N=850 students in a school from which a sample of n=10 students is to be taken. The students are numbered from 1 to 850. Since our

All possible results for the variable time (t) would be greater than > 0. b) The weight of a T-bone steak is a continuous random variable because the weight of the steak is measured. All the possible results for the weight of the T-bone steak would be positive numbers making the variable weight (w) > greater than 0. c) The number of free throw attempts before the first shot is made is a discrete random variable
