Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 7e: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. As we now know, except for a census, the common way to collect statistical information about a population is by means of a survey. When the survey consists of asking people their opinion on some issue, we refer to it as a public opinion poll. In a survey, we use a subset of the population, called a sample, as the source of our information, and from this sample, we try to generalize and draw conclusions about the entire population. Survey

Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 7e: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Statisticians use the term statistic to describe any kind of numerical information drawn from a sample. A statistic is always an estimate for some unknown measure, called a parameter, of the population. A parameter is the numerical information we would like to have. Calculating a parameter is difficult and often impossible, since the only way to get the exact value for a parameter is to use a census. If we use a sample, then we can get only an estimate for the parameter, and this estimate is called a statistic. Statistic versus Parameter

Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 7e: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. We will use the term sampling error to describe the difference between a parameter and a statistic used to estimate that parameter. In other words, the sampling error measures how much the data from a survey differs from the data that would have been obtained if a census had been used. Sampling error can be attributed to two factors: chance error and sampling bias. Sampling Error

Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 7e: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Chance error is the result of the basic fact that a sample, being just a sample, can only give us approximate information about the population. In fact, different samples are likely to produce different statistics for the same population, even when the samples are chosen in exactly the same way–a phenomenon known as sampling variability. While sampling variability, and thus chance error, are unavoidable, with careful selection of the sample and the right choice of sample size they can be kept to a minimum. Chance Error

Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 7e: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Sample bias is the result of choosing a bad sample and is a much more serious problem than chance error. Even with the best intentions, getting a sample that is representative of the entire population can be very difficult and can be affected by many subtle factors. Sample bias is the result. As opposed to chance error, sample bias can be eliminated by using proper methods of sample selection. Sampling Bias

Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 7e: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Last, we shall make a few comments about the size of the sample, typically denoted by the letter n (to contrast with N, the size of the population). The ratio n/N is called the sampling proportion. A sampling proportion of x% tells us that the size of the sample is intended to be x% of the population. Some sampling methods are conducive for choosing the sample so that a given sampling proportion is obtained. Sampling Proportion

Excursions in Modern Mathematics, 7e: Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. But in many sampling situations it is very difficult to predetermine what the exact sampling proportion is going to be (we would have to know the exact values of both N and n). In any case, it is not the sampling proportion that matters but rather the absolute sample size and quality. Typically, modern public opinion polls use samples of n between 1000 and 1500 to get statistics that have a margin of error of less than 5%, be it for the population of a city, a region, or the entire country.
