Randomness, Samples Surveys, and Observations Flashcards
Pick numbers for lottery
Random
Start with seed value and build with algorithm Random integer table -Appendix F -Start at top left -Read 1 digit, 2, 3 ect. -If not in range, then skip
Pseudo random
Math Prob rand is [0,1] randInt(min, max, number of answers) -Can store into list -Not equal probability
Random integer
Dice Rolling (2)
- 6 options for one dice
- 6 options to pair it with
- 36 combinations

Sample should be _ and represent whole population which can be obtained by _.
Diverse, randomizing
_ rather than choice in sampling.
Random
Key numbers in mathematical models
Population parameters
Means that the statistics reflect the parameters
Representative
What sample size in drawn from
Sampling frame
If sample is different, then data will be different
Benefits stratified
Sampling Variability
Simple Random Sample
- Has to be equivalent of drawing names out of a hat
- Every subset of size n has _ chance of being chosen
- Not every individual has an equal chance (only _) because any sampling method has an equal chance for the individual
Equal, subset
Stratified (like a layered cake)
- Choose the separation
- Layers are as thick as that group is _ in the population
- Predefine groups (_) and perform an SRS on each strata, then put them apart and back together
- Better than SRS because more representative of population
Represented, strata
Systematic
-Choose every _ term
