To cut the maximum likely error in half the sample size should be?
... should be increased by a factor of 4. Note that this implies that the only errors are statistical (random) in nature; increasing the sample size won't improve systematic errors.
What are the disadvantages of systematic sampling?
Disadvantages of systematic sampling: © The process of selection can interact with a hidden periodic trait within the population. If the sampling technique coincides with the periodicity of the trait, the sampling technique will no longer be random and representativeness of the sample is compromised.
What is the importance of a representative sample?
Well, if your sample does not represent the larger sample, you'll certainly not get a valid result ... For example, if you're studying pregnancy and your sample includes men - The whole idea of "representative' sample is fuzzy and often gives interesting errors.
What happens When a random sampling frame has a systematic pattern in the listing of sampling units rather than a random pattern?
You get a non-random sample and any analysis based on the assumption of randomly distributed variables is no longer valid. In particular, your estimates of any variables are likely to be biased and your error estimates (standard errors or sample variances) will be incorrect. Any inferences based on statistical tests will be less reliable and may be wrong.
Is systematic sampling biased?
Often not, but it is important to check that there is no systematic pattern in the skip.To take an unlikely example, suppose you wanted to sample the values of 10% of houses on a street with 200 houses on it. A possible systematic sampling scheme would be to select a random house number to start with and then select every 20th house number (looping back when the number exceeds 200). If the first house number is odd then all houses in the sample are odd numbered and, therefore, on the same side of the street. If the street runs East-West, the sample could consist exclusively of South-facing gardens - attracting a price premium!
What kind of systematic errors are detected by varying the sample size?
I believe a varying sample size detects a constant error which is a type of systematic error.
How are systematic errors detected?
independent analysis blank determinations variation in sample size
How do you solve a systematic sample?
A systematic sample is not something that you can solve!
Can sabuxoen be detected in a urine sample?
Yes Suboxone can be detected in a urine sample. It can not however be detected in a standard drug test.

What is the difference between simple random sampling and systematic random sampling?
simple random sample is to select the sample in random method but systematic random sample is to select the sample in particular sequence (ie 1st 11th 21st 31st etc.)• Simple random sample requires that each individual is separately selected but systematic random sample does not selected separately.• In simple random sampling, for each k, each sample of size k has equal probability of being selected as a sample but it is not so in systematic random sampling.
When taking a systematic random sample of size and n every group of size n from the population has the same chance of being selected?
That is not true. It is true for a simple random sample but not one that is systematic.
What kind of virus is detected by a stool sample?
rotavirus
When can statistics be used to gain information about a population from a sample?
When the sample - whether it is random or systematic - is somehow representative of the population.
How is Fragile X syndrome detected?
By a DNA blood sample
Can use of inhalants be detected in a hair sample?
yes. for about 5 to 6 months.
The best most reliable sampling technique is the one that has the smallest chance of unknowingly producing biased results in a study?
Convenience sample Systematic sample Simple random sample (SRS) Census
