Statistics Lesson 2

Today we read through Section 2.3 on Sampling.

The course requires that you can distinguish between:

• Population and Sample
• Census and Sample Survey

and between different methods of sampling such as:

• Simple random sampling
• Stratified sampling
• Cluster sampling
• Quota sampling
• Convenience sampling 
  

We will not have class again until next Tuesday. I hope that you can continue with the questions from 2.3 and section 2.4 in the meantime. Perhaps you could make out notes on the key terms such as identified above.
