    The document discusses random sampling methods for producing unbiased data samples. It defines a simple random sample as a sample of size n where every set of n individuals has an equal chance of being selected. A stratified random sample divides the population into similar groups and then takes a separate random sample from each group. A cluster sample divides the population into clusters and then randomly selects some clusters, including all individuals within those clusters in the sample. It encourages the reader to read about these methods in their textbook and complete the assigned homework.

    Producing Data: Probability Samples

    Chapter 5 Section 1b

    Random Samples
    The best way to avoid bias, is to allow chance to select the sample Simple Random Sample (SRS)
    A sample of size n that consists of n individuals from the population chosen in such a way that every set of n individuals has an equal chance to be in the sample actually selected.

    SRS from Calculator:


    Math > PRB > 5: randInt( randInt(minimum, maximum, # of values)
    NOTE: If you dont enter a number of values the calculator will give you one number.

    Terms
    Probability Sample
    A sample chosen by chance This is an essential principle of statistical sampling

    TYPES:
    Stratified Random Sample Cluster Sample

    Stratified Random Sample


    Divide population into groups of individuals, called strata, that are similar in some way that is important to the response. Then choose a separate SRS in each stratum and combine these SRSs to form the full sample

    Cluster Sample
    Divides the population into groups, or clusters. Some of these clusters are randomly selected. Then all individuals in the chosen clusters are selected to be in the sample.
