Which is an effective use of stratified sampling?
Analyzing 20% of the items that are under $25,000
How would you define the sampling universe and why you chose this sample definition?
The sampling universe is the totatility of items/events from which you can select or sample for statistical analysis and description.
What difference between Statistical Sampling and non-statistical sampling?
Statistical sampling is an objective approach using probability to make an inference about the population. The method will determine the sample size and the selection criteria of the sample. The reliability or confidence level of this type of sampling relates to the number of times per 100 the sample will represent the larger population. Non-statistical sampling relies on judgment to determine the sampling method,the sample size,and the selection items in the sample.
What is the number of samples for a distribution of sample means constructed by sampling 5 items from a population of 15?
the sampe mean cannot be comoputed
What are the uses of sampling?
(1) A sample may save money (as compared with the cost of a complete census) when absolute precision is not necessary. (2) A sample saves time, when data are desired more quickly than would be possible with a complete census. (3) A sample may make it possible to concentrate attention on individual cases. (4) In industrial uses, some tests are destructive (for example, testing the length of time an electric bulb will last) and can only be performed on a sample of items. (5) Some populations can be considered as infinite, and can, therefore, only be sampled. A simple example is an agricultural experiment for testing fertilizers. In one sense, a census can be considered as a sample at one instant of time of an underlying causal system which has random features in it. (6) Where non-sampling errors are necessarily large, a sample may give better results than a complete census because non-sampling errors are easier to control in smaller-scale operations
