What kind of errors arise in sampling?
sampling is a waste of time
What is sampling error?
Sampling errors are errors in the data collected during the carrying out of quantitative data surveys. They can occur for various reasons, e.g. surveys that were incorrectly filled out. It is generally said that a survey needs to have a margin of error of under 3% to be statistically significant.
When is census necessary instead of sampling?
census is conducted for group data so if it is a sampling data is taken it would lead to lot of non sampling errors
Sources of errors encountered in measurement?
sources of errors encountered in measurment
What are the causes of non-sampling errors?
non response, in accurate response and selection bias

Sampling errors and non sampling errors?
Sampling Errors: differences between your sample and the actual population that come about as a result of the observations that happened to be selected for the sample; (in sampling a population, regardless of how hard you try, there will always be some deviation from your sample as compared to your population because your sample may be slightly different from your population)Non Sampling Error: differences due to mistakes in the acquisition of data or because of the improper formation of a sample.Errors in data acquisition: i.e. recording the wrong answer, measurements from faulty equipment, mistakes in transferring info from primary sources, or misinterpretation of questions/responses, etc.Non response errors: when people in the sample don't respond = no dataSelection bias: when sampling makes it highly unlikely that some people will be included in the sample (i.e. selecting only those who are in the phone book would eliminate the chances for someone who isn't in the phone book to be selected)
Sources of errors encountered in measurement?
sources of errors encountered in measurment
What is occurs when some population units are excluded from the process of selecting the sample?
sampling errorS OCCURES WHEN SOME POPULATION UNITS ARE EXCLUDED FOR SAMPLING
What are the causes of non-sampling errors?
non response, in accurate response and selection bias
What are the merits and demerits of sampling methods?
Advantages and Limitation of Sampling: 1. Sampling saves time and labour. 2. It results in reduction of cost in terms of money and manhour. 3. Sampling ends up with greater accuracy of results. 4. It has greater scope. 5. It has greater adaptability. 6. If the population is too large, or hypothetical or destroyable sampling is the only method to be used. The limitations of sampling are given below: 1. Sampling is to be done by qualified and experienced persons. Otherwise, the information will be unbelievable. 2. Sample method may give the extreme values sometimes instead of the mixed values. 3. There is the possibility of sampling errors.

What are the possible sources of error in sampling and there corresponding solution?
There are three main several sources of errors:The sample is non-representative. This could be through poor sampling design (for example, a convenience sample), lack of knowledge or appreciation of all possible factors that could affect the variable of interest (by introducing some unforeseen bias), or just plain bad luck.There are measurement errors, recording errors, transcription errors and so forth. These can affect samples as well as censuses.The respondent lies. For example, you will rarely get an honest answer about how much people smoke or drink.Their solutions will generally be similar anywhere, but I cannot be certain about that. So there corresponding solutions will depend on where "there" is.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of acceptance sampling?
1).There may errors (Producer's and Consumer's risk) associated with the sampling. 2).The sample does not provide 100% accurate information of the condition of the bacth.
Is calling randomly selected phone numbers a good way for pollsters to reduce sampling errors?
