What does simple random sample mean in statistics?
It means that every member of the population has the same probability of being included in the sample.
Why is average called the measure of central tendency?
Because, whatever the underlying distribution, as more and more samples are taken from ANY population, the average of those samples will have a standard normal distribution whose mean will be their average. The normal (or Gaussian) distribution is symmetric and so its mean lies at the centre of the probability distribution.
What statistic is produced when the difference between a score and the mean is divided by the standard deviation?
a "T" or a "Z" score. A "T" Score if comparing a sample. A "Z" Score when comparing a population. Remember, a population includes all observation, and a sample includes only a random selection of the population.
What does it mean when the standard error value is smaller than the standard deviation?
It simply means that you have a sample with a smaller variation than the population itself. In the case of random sample, it is possible.
What is circular systematic sampling?
Circular systematic sampling is a random sampling method. An example is random sampling of households. Assume that a random number generator provides the number 49 as a starting point. Starting with the household that is 49 on the target list, every nth household on the list would be sampled until the desired sample size is reached
