ANSWER: Sampling is that part of statistical practice concerned with the selection of an unbiased or random subset of individual observations within a population of individuals intended to yield some knowledge about the population of concern‚ especially for making predictions based on the statistical inference (Ader‚ Mellenberg & Hand: 2008). There are quite a number of sampling methods that can be employed in research and these include simple random sampling‚ systematic sampling‚ stratified sampling

MAUREEN L. M. INTERMEDIATE MICROECONOMICS SAMPLING TECHNIQUES INTRODUCTION A sample is a unit or subset of selection from a larger population that is used in studying to draw conclusions regarding the whole population. A sample is usually selected from the population because it is not easy to study the entire population at once and the cost of doing so may be very high. The sample should be the best representation of the whole population to enable accurate outcomes and accurate

and density than a disturbed habitat. The experiment will investigate the sample area’s using the method of Quadrant sampling. Quadrants are placed in a grid pattern on the sample area. The occurrence of organisms in these squares is noted. It is used to estimate population parameters when the organisms present are too numerous to count in total. In this case‚ Quadrant sampling will be used to estimate and compare population species diversity and density of a abandoned lot and a city pathway using

Sampling is concerned with the selection of a subset of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. Acceptance sampling is used to determine if a production lot of material meets the governing specifications. Two advantages of sampling are that the cost is lower and data collection is faster than measuring the entire population. Sampling is the process of selecting units (e.g.‚ people‚ organizations) from a population of interest so that
