Q

Why is it important to sample properly?

A

To avoid:
Consumer risk –> accepting a defective product
Producer risk –> rejecting an acceptable product

19
Q

What is the basis of probaility sampling plans?

A

Every unit of a population has a known and equal chance of being selected

  • eliminate human bias
  • statistically sound basis
  • best for a representative sample
20
Q

What is the simple random sampling?

A

Each element of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample–> uses a random selection process
**Population needs to be known

21
Q

What are the advantages of simple random sampling?

A

Easy to conduct
High probability of acheiving a representative sample
Meets assumptions of statistical procedures

22
Q

What are the limitations of simple random sampling?

A

Indentification of all units of the population can be difficult

23
Q

What is stratified sampling?

A

Dividing the population into mutally exclusive subgroups(strata) and then using simple random sampling to choose units from each stratum

24
Q

What is an example of stratified sampling?

A

Egg shell packing station the boxes of eggs are placed on pallets according to their grade size, the population is naturally divided into strata

25
Q

What are the advantages of stratified sampling?

A
  • Data is more homogenous within each stratum
  • Cost seems to be lower due to admin
  • Small variances for the sample
26
Q

What are the disadvantages of stratification?

A

Classification error
Prior knowledge of composittion and distribution of population
Tedious and time consuming (especially with larger samples

27
Q

What is cluster sampling?

A

The population is divided into cluster that are designed to be similar as possible to one another
Only some randomly selected clusters are sampled
** Stratified are taken from every single subgroup

28
Q

What is the advantage of cluster sampling?

A

Less costly than simple or stratified

29
Q

What is a disadvantage of cluster sampling?

A

Higher sampling error (lack of representing

30
Q

What is systematic sampling?

A 
The first unit is selected at random start from the first k population units and then units are taken every nth unit
N population
Sample size n
K=N/n
Select a number j between 1 and k
j, j+k, j+2k, j+3k, j+4K....
31
Q

What are the advantages of sstematic sampling?

A

Highly representative, w/o random number generator
Easier to preform
Less prone to error
Provide information per unit cost

32
Q

What are some disadvantages of systematic sampling?

A

Not as random as simple random sampling

33
Q

What is composite sampling?

A

Collection of numerous individual discrete sample at regular intervals (over period of time)
Used obtained samples from bagged products
Small portions are taken from different locations, bags, containers
Composite sample may be physical mix of individual samples units

34
Q

What are the 5 factors of sampling plans?

A
  1. purpose of inspection
  2. Nature of population
  3. Nature of product
  4. Nature of test method
35
Q

What are the non-probabilty sampling plans?

A

Judgement
Convinience
Restricted
Quote

36
Q

What is judgement sampling?

A

Dependent on the subjective judgement of hte person who is drawing the samples

37
Q

What is convinence sampling?

A

Selecting only accessible part of the population –> chunk sampling or grab sampling

38
Q

Restricted Sampling

A

sampling (non-probability)

The population is divided into groups, and samples are chosen based on experience and judgement

39
Q

What is attribute sampling?

A

To decide on the acceptability of a population based on whether the sample possesses a certain characteristics or not
Either present or absent
** Sample should be ten time smaller than the population size

40
Q

What is variance sampling?

A

Performed to estimate quantitatively the amount of a substance or a characteristic on a continuous scale - in a range
** obtained when compared with acceptable value

41
Q

What is manula sampling?

A

Person doing the sampling should be trained, pick up samples randomly

42
Q

Continuous sampling

A

Performed mechanically

Less prone to human bias

43
Q

What is the sample size of attribute sampling?

A

10x smaller than the population

44
Q

Which sampling needs more samples?

A

Attribute over variance

45
Q

Why does attribute sampling need a larger sample?

A

In order to make a right judgement
