The document discusses key concepts in statistics and probability related to sampling, including defining a population as the entire group under study and a sample as a subset of the population. It describes random sampling as selecting elements from a population where each sample point has an equal chance of being selected, and lists common types of random sampling techniques like lottery sampling and stratified random sampling. The document also covers non-random sampling, which is used when samples are not proportionate to the population, and defines types of non-random sampling such as accidental sampling and convenience sampling. Additionally, it provides brief definitions of mean and sampling distribution.

Statistics and

Probability
Population- refers to the entire group that is
under study or investigation.
Sample- subset taken from a population,
either by random or no-random sampling
techniques. It is a representation of the
population.
Random sampling- it is a selection of n
elements derived from a population N
which is the subject of the investigation or
experiment, where each sample point has
an equal chance of being selected.
Types of Random Sampling

1. Lottery sampling- sampling technique


where every number of the population
has an equal chance of being selected.
2. Systematic sampling- sampling
technique in which members of the
population are listed and samples are
selected in intervals called sample
intervals.
3. Stratified random sampling- sampling
procedure wherein the members of the
population are grouped based on their
homogeneity.
4. Cluster sampling- sometimes called area
sampling , it is applied on a geographical
basis. It is generally done by first sampling at
the higher levels before going to the lower
levels
5. Multi-stage sampling- done using a
combination and different sampling
techniques.
Non-random sampling- it is used when the
sample is not proportion of the population
and when there is no system in selecting a
sample.
TYPES of NON-RANDOM SAMPLING
1. Accidental sampling- only those whom
researcher meets by chance are
included in the sample when using this
technique.
2. Quota sampling- includes a specified
number of persons of certain types to be taken
as sample.
3. Convenience sampling- most convenient
and fastest sampling technique that make use
of the telephone, mobile phones or the
internet.
4. Purposive sampling- used in very small
sample size. Sampling technique in which
researchers rely on their own judgement
when choosing members of population to
participate in their study.
Mean- It is calculated by dividing the sum of
the observations by the total number of
observations.
Sampling distribution- The probability
distribution when all possible samples of size
n are repeatedly drawn from a population.
