Sampling
Sampling
• Population-aggregate objects/individuals
• Sample-A part of the population that is supposed
to represent the population
• Parameter-statistical measure based on
population values
• Statistic-statistical measure based on sample
observation
• Sampling fluctuation-change in value of statistic
from one sample to another
• Sampling distribution-probability distribution of a
statistic
• Statistic has expectation and standard error while
parameter does not have
• Standard error-standard deviation of a statistic
• Sampling-the process of drawing sample from
population
• Random sampling-each member of the population has
definite pre assigned probability of being included in
the sample
• Simple random sampling (SRS)- Each member of
population has same probability of being included in
the sample
• SRSWR-sample units are drawn with replacement
• SRSWOR-sample units are drawn with out
replacement
• Sampling experiment-
• Sample survey-no experiment; only data is collected
through mere observation or asking the respondents
Types of sampling
• Subjective and objective
• Objective sampling is divided into
probabilistic(random, stratified, multistage,
cluster), non probabilistic (convenience,
judgement, quota, snowball) and mixed
• SRSWR and SRSWOR
Advantage of sampling over Complete Enumeration

Derivation of Expectation and standard
error of sample mean in SRSWOR
• Suppose
population consists of N observations
Also, suppose the population mean is and
population sd is . If we draw a sample of size
n, using SRSWOR .
