3. Inferential Statistics
Inferential statistics enables you to make an educated guess about a population parameter based on a statistic computed from a sample randomly drawn from that population.

4. Sampling
When conducting a survey, experiment, or observational study, it is almost impossible to survey everyone in a population so people use various sampling methods to gather information.
One major concern about sampling methods is whether it is a biased or unbiased method to gather information.

5. Convenience sampling:
Sampling Methods
Convenience sampling:
when those chosen as a sample of the population are chosen due to ease of collecting data.
SIMPLE EASY (first 5 people)
NOT a “good” method…

6. Sampling Methods Random sampling:
when everyone in a population has an equal chance of being chosen in the experiment.

7. Sampling Methods
Stratified sampling: when the population is first divided into similar categories and the number of members in each category is determined.

8. Sampling Methods
Systematic sampling: when you determine a method for which to choose members of the population (assign numbers to the population and then choose every 5th person to participate)

9. Sampling Methods
Cluster sampling: when you randomly put the population Into clusters and then choose a Cluster randomly and then randomly choose people in that cluster to participate.

10. Randomly selecting 10 from all 50 animals
Example if selecting 10 animals from 25 dogs, 15 cats, and 10 rabbits
Random sampling: when everyone in a population has an equal chance of being chosen in the experiment.
Randomly selecting 10 from all 50 animals
Stratified sampling: when the population is first divided into similar categories and the number of members in each category is determined. Select 5 from 25 dogs, 3 from 15 cats and 2 from the rabbits
Systematic sampling: when you determine a method for which to choose members of the population (assign numbers to the population and then choose every 5th person to participate) Give every animal a random number and then choose every 5th number
Cluster sampling: when you randomly put the population into clusters and then choose a cluster randomly and then randomly choose people in that cluster to participate.
Randomly put the animals into 2 groups of 25, choose a group, and then choose 10 from that selected group.

11. Which sampling method is used in the scenario below?
A Gallop poll surveyed 1,018 adults by telephone in each region of the country, and 22% of them reported that they smoked cigarettes within the past week.

14. Biased Questions
Some questions may use language that people can associate with emotions:
How much of your time do you waste on Snap Chat?
Some questions may refer to a majority or supposed authority:
Would you agree with the NCAE that teachers should
be paid more for earning their master’s degree?
Phrased awkwardly:
Do you disagree with people who oppose the ban on smoking in public places?

15. Sampling Bias
Sampling Bias occurs when one or more sub groups of a population are either over represented or under represented when conducting a survey or experiment.
Using the appropriate sampling method for the question reduces bias.
Discuss with your partner some examples of bias that could occur when choosing a sample from a population.
Be prepared to share your examples.

16. Activity:
Martha wants to construct a survey that shows which sports students at her school like to play the most.
List the goal of the survey.
What population sample should she interview?
How should she administer the survey?
Create a data collection sheet that she can use to record her results.
