Introduction:
Statistics are used everywhere; we see statistics in use every day; statistics is used to answer important and practical questions. Statistics are useful in almost all disciplines.
They are used in statistical analysis of results of an experiment, prediction of future values, growth and trend analysis, systematic presentation of data in the form of tables, diagrams and graphs.

I. Probability

A. Simple- When a coin is tossed, there are two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T)

B. Stratified- In general the size of the sample in each stratum is taken in proportion to the size of the stratum. This is called proportional allocation. Suppose that in a company there are the following staff: male, full-time: 90; male, part-time: 18; female, full-time: 9; female, part-time: 63 and we are asked to take a sample of 40 staff, stratified according to the above categories.

C. Random-In a cooking gas bottling plant, thousands of cylinders are filled and dispatched to the outlets every day. Should there be an inspection from the department of weights and measures, they check by random sampling; taking 5 or 10 cylinders at random and checking the weight or the pressure of the gas in the cylinder.
D. Sytematic-Suppose we have six schools with populations of 150, 180, 200, 220, 260, and 490 students respectively and we want to use student population as the basis for a PPS sample of size three.

E. Cluster- a study with relatively large square fixed area plots of 50 m x 50 m had been carried out, on which all tree positions were mapped. Because the individual plots were relatively large, there were only resources available to measure.The small sample size led to a fairly high value of the estimated.

F. Multi-Stage- Highway 155 has a length of 85 miles. Ten of its 85 one-mile segments were selected and inspected. Two of these

    Stratified Random Sampling: Divide the population into "strata". There can be any number of these. Then choose a simple random sample from each stratum. Combine those into the overall sample. That is a stratified random sample. (Example: Church A has 600 women and 400 women as members. One way to get a stratified random sample of size 30 is to take a SRS of 18 women from the 600 women and another SRS of 12 men from the 400 men.)…

    I obviously can't have.4 of a person or .6 of a person in my sample, and so have to "round" the numbers. Therefore i would choose 5 males and 5 females in the sample. I will then use the random sampling technique to get my sample. I will put the females and males in seperate groups, and number them in order. I will then use the random number generator on my calculator and which ever number comes up multiply it by the size of the population and then i will use the corresponding person from the group. I will do this until i have the amount of each that i had worked out earlier using my stratified sampling…
