Q

stratified random sampling

A

Break up the population into groups called strata, then take simple random samples from each. used for specific occurrence. ** cannot have crossover and must include all the population

Q

Two-way cluster sampling

A

Sampling method that involves separating the population into clusters then selecting random samples from the clusters.

** use when population size is unknown

Q

Systematic Random samples

A

requires selecting samples based on a system of intervals in a numbered population. Must still ensure all outcomes are given equal chance of getting selected.

** best if population is homogenous or of the same sub group.

Q

The Law of Large Numbers

A

Theorem states that the larger your sample size, the closer the sample mean will be to the mean of the population.

the more often that an experiment is repeated, the difference between the theoretical mean and the expected probability is closer to 0.
