Populations and Sampling Chapter 7 7 Populations and Sampling The Rationale of Sampling Steps in Sampling Types of Sampling Inferential Statistics: A Look Ahead The Case Study Approach The Rationale of Sampling In Chapter One‚ we established the fact that inductive reasoning is an essential part of the scientific process. Recall that inductive reasoning moves from individual observations to general principles. If a researcher can observe a characteristic of interest in all members of a population

Sampling Methodologies Population: Population is defined as including all items with the characteristic one wishes to understand. Because there is seldom enough time or money to gather information from everyone or everything in a population‚ the goal is to find a representative sample (or subset) of that population. For example‚ a researcher might study the success rate of a new ’quit smoking’ program on a sample group of 50 patients‚ in order to predict the effects of the program if it were

Sampling plan Our target population is the youth‚ from ages of 16 to 23. They represent the young adults and teenagers of the area’s population and are the most easily influenced individuals of the society. Our target population are college and high school students or recently graduated high school students. The data collection method used will be a self-administered questionnaire handed to the prospective respondents and collected right after the 10 minutes needed for the individual to complete

Sampling distribution The sampling distribution is the distribution of the values of a sample statistic computed for each possible sample that could be drawn from the target population under a specified sampling plan. Because many different samples could be drawn from a population of elements‚ the sample statistics derived from any one sample will likely not equal the population parameters. As a result‚ the sampling distribution supplies an approximation of the true value’s population parameters

Population and Sampling MTH/231 Fahad M. Gohar Statistical data dates back to as early as Ancient Greek time‚ where it was introduced by John Graunt‚ William Petty and Pascal in the 16th century. It was then re-introduced by Gottfriend Achenwall in the 17th century. This was a very exciting time for scientists‚ astronomers and physicists alike as it raised the confidence and knowing that the laws of nature were not of divine intervention. As the years went on‚ new mathematical
