Statistics Sampling
2
Sampling You want to have a sample that closely resembles your population – a representative sample
3
Is it a representative sample? population
Sampling IN-CLASS PROBLEM Is it a representative sample? population sample Vfrench, 2010
4
Sampling How do you make sure your sample statistic is close to your population parameter?
5
Sampling Your sample will RARELY be exactly the same as your population
6
Sampling Make sure that every element/subject in the population has an equal chance of being in the sample a RANDOM sample
7
Sampling How do you make sure your sample statistic is close to your population parameter?
8
Sampling Take the BIGGEST sample you can the LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS
9
Which school has the more believable results?
Sampling IN-CLASS PROBLEM Which school has the more believable results? Favorite Class School A # of Students School B English 11 3 Math 7 4 Science 12 Social Studies 10 2 Computer Science 13 Music/Art 14 Physical Education 15 Foreign Language 6 1
10
Sampling The number in your sample is called the “sample size” It is usually called “n”
11
Sampling The population also has a size (probably really REALLY huge, and also probably unknown) called: “N”
12
Sampling How do you make sure your sample statistic is close to your population parameter?
13
Sampling Sampling errors can lead to results which have a specific bias or are only relevant to a specific subgroup
14
Sampling Suppose that you want to find out how successful ($) a film will be Suppose your film only appeals to a certain audience
15
What will you deduce from this sample?
Sampling IN-CLASS PROBLEM Bad luck sample: What will you deduce from this sample? Vfrench, 2010
16
What will you deduce from this sample?
Sampling IN-CLASS PROBLEM Unbiased sample: What will you deduce from this sample? Vfrench, 2010
17
Sampling IN-CLASS PROBLEM How do you make sure your sample statistic is close to your population parameter?

How To Lie With Statistics #1
Truman vs Dewey 1948 Why did they make the wrong forecast? What would you do differently to get an accurate forecast?

Observational Surveys can be used to answer research questions
21
Types of Survey Research: Interrogation Surveys Ethnology Observation
Observational Types of Survey Research: Interrogation Surveys Ethnology Observation
22
Surveys Are non-experimental, descriptive research methods Involve asking questions of respondents Are useful to collect data on something that cannot be directly observed (like opinions)
23
Observational For a survey, the whole group you are interested in finding out something about is called the population
24
You instead survey only a portion of the population - a
Observational You instead survey only a portion of the population - a sample
25
Observational You do this because you do not have the resources to survey the entire population
26
Observational A sample is representative
when it is an accurate reflection of the population under study ?
27
Observational No sample is ever a perfect representation of the population of interest ?
28
Questions?
29
Sampling A census is a “sampling” of “all” the members of a population
30
Sampling A description of all the members of a population is called a frame
31
Sampling Random Sampling
Each member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample
32
How could you take a random sample?
SAMPLING IN-CLASS PROBLEM How could you take a random sample? 1 Alabama 2 Alaska 3 Arizona 4 Arkansas 5 California 6 Colorado 7 Connecticut 8 Delaware 9 Florida 10 Georgia 11 Hawaii 12 Idaho 13 Illinois 14 Indiana 15 Iowa 16 Kansas 17 Kentucky 18 Louisiana 19 Maine 20 Maryland 21 Massachusetts 22 Michigan 23 Minnesota 24 Mississippi 25 Missouri 26 Montana 27 Nebraska 28 Nevada 29 New Hampshire 30 New Jersey 31 New Mexico 32 New York 33 North Carolina 34 North Dakota 35 Ohio 36 Oklahoma 37 Oregon 38 Pennsylvania 39 Rhode Island 40 South Carolina 41 South Dakota 42 Tennessee 43 Texas 44 Utah 45 Vermont 46 Virginia 47 Washington 48 West Virginia 49 Wisconsin 50 Wyoming

34
Sampling Stratified Sampling
Divide the population into non-overlapping groups (strata) Each member of a strata has an equal chance of being included in the sample
35
You need three random samples
SAMPLING IN-CLASS PROBLEM 1 Connecticut 2 Delaware 3 Illinois 4 Indiana 5 Iowa 6 Maine 7 Maryland 8 Massachusetts 9 Michigan 10 Minnesota 11 Montana 12 New Hampshire 13 New Jersey 14 New York 15 North Dakota 16 Ohio 17 Pennsylvania 18 Rhode Island 19 South Dakota 20 Vermont 21 Wisconsin You need three random samples 1 Alaska 2 Arizona 3 California 4 Colorado 5 Hawaii 6 Idaho 7 Nevada 8 New Mexico 9 Oklahoma 10 Oregon 11 Utah 12 Washington 13 Wyoming 14 Kansas 15 Missouri 16 Nebraska 1 Alabama 2 Arkansas 3 Florida 4 Georgia 5 Kentucky 6 Louisiana 7 Mississippi 8 North Carolina 9 South Carolina 10 Tennessee 11 Texas 12 Virginia 13 West Virginia

37
Sampling Systematic Sampling
Selects every “kth” member from the population (from a random starting point)
38
Sampling We need 10 observations in our sample That will be every 5th member of the population Pick a random starting place 1-5

44
Questions?
45
Bias If your sample is not representative of the population, the sample is biased
46
Bias Sources of bias: sampling bias (bad-luck sample) nonresponse bias (Reps respond, Dems don’t) response bias (crummy survey questions) inaccurate data entry
