Inference for Sampling The purpose of a sample is to give us information about a larger population. The process of drawing conclusions about a population on the basis of sample data is called inference. Sampling and Surveys Why should we rely on random sampling? To eliminate bias in selecting samples from the list of available individuals. The laws of probability allow trustworthy inference about the population Results from random samples come with a margin of error that sets bounds on the size of the likely error. Larger random samples give better information about the population than smaller samples.

Margin of Error

Sample Surveys: What Can Go Wrong? Most sample surveys are affected by errors in addition to sampling variability. Good sampling technique includes the art of reducing all sources of error. Sampling and Surveys Definition Undercoverage occurs when some groups in the population are left out of the process of choosing the sample. Nonresponse occurs when an individual chosen for the sample can’t be contacted or refuses to participate. A systematic pattern of incorrect responses in a sample survey leads to response bias. The wording of questions is the most important influence on the answers given to a sample survey.

Bias & Variability

Bias & Variability

What are the types of sampling that are biased? Review Question: What are the types of sampling that are biased? Sampling Bias

Bias in Surveys (non-sampling bias) Nonresponse People can’t be reached or refuse to respond 30% nonresponse not abnormal(even with call back) Response bias Respondents lie or don’t remember clearly Can be caused by interviewer (race, gender, appearance etc) Undercoverage Groups or types of people are missed Phone surveys miss poor people 1990 census missed 2% of the people Wording of questions The question can be worded to slant responses one way or the other Question can be hard to understand

Never trust the results of a sample or survey if you don’t see the exact question asked. Look at sample design, rate of nonresponse, and date of survey too.
