Population & Quantitative

This document contains summaries of two websites about population and samples, and quantitative data. [1] A website about differences between population and samples is summarized, explaining that a population is the overall group being studied, while a sample is a subset of the population that can represent it if drawn randomly. [2] A second website on quantitative data is summarized, noting that quantitative data involves measurable numbers like height, weight, temperature, and cost. An example of quantitative data from an oil painting is provided. [3] In research, quantitative data is important as it allows examining relationships between variables through methods like experiments, surveys, and correlation analysis that require numerical data.

This site state that “population” can be describe of people in our town, region, state or
country and their respective characteristics such as gender, age, marital status, ethnic
membership, religion and so forth. It also mention, in statistics the term “population”
takes on a slightly different meaning which can be define as group that we are studying or
collecting information on for data driven decisions.

A part of the population is called a sample. It is a proportion of the population, a slice of


it, a part of it and all its characteristics. A sample is a scientifically drawn group that
actually possesses the same characteristics as the population if it is drawn randomly.
Randomly drawn samples must have two characteristics:

1) Every person has an equal opportunity to be selected for your sample; and,
2) Selection of one person is independent of the selection of another person.

So when we say about sample, it means that sample is a small unit of population. We also
can say that sample is a subset of the population. Below is the illustrator of sample and
population. Which mean that sample should be taken randomly from the population to
make sure the sample can represent the population.

Population

Sample

We cannot affordable to run our research to all subjects or people in the population, that’s
why we need to select sample randomly. A bias sample selection cannot represent the
whole population. This mean that the largest sample and drawn randomly is more
accurate to represent the population compare to the small and bias sample.
Quantitative Data

This site has shown the differences between quantitative and qualitative data by giving 3
examples. But my focus is only on quantitative data. From this site we can see that
quantitative data basically deal with numbers. Or in other word we can say it data which
can be measured. For example
1) height,
2) volume,
3) weight,
4) speed,
5) time,
6) temperature,
7) humidity,
8) sound levels,
9) cost and etc.

This site also mention that quantitative came from the word quantity as shown below.

Quantitative → Quantity

One of the examples in this site related to quantitative data is


oil painting picture. From the item we can list the quantitative
data below:
• picture is 10" by 14"
• with frame 14" by 18"
• weighs 8.5 pounds
• surface area of painting is 140 sq. in.
• cost $300

In our research we cannot avoid from using this quantitative data, especially when we use
experimental, survey, correlation, causal-comparative research. All these research method
need us to deal with number to get the relation or the effect between our variables.
