But the point is that the estimated population value based on a sampling data is not
going to be same as true population value.
The different is known as the bias.
Roughly speaking,
true value = ____________________________________________________
Sampling error is the error in _________. It results from taking one sample instead of
measuring every unit in the population.
o
Ensure the sample adequately represents the entire population; increase the
sample size
Non-sampling error can be further classified into two types: (a) selection bias, and (b)
measurement error (inaccuracy).
Note that large unrepresentative samples can perform ________ small unrepresentative
samples.

Example: How many percentages of the households buy groceries from Sheng Siong last month?
Example: Amazon books (www.amazon.com) summarizes reader reviews of the books it sells.
Persons who want to review a book can submit a review online; Amazon then reports the average
rating from all reader reviews on its website. Describe the target population, sampling frame,

Snowball Sampling
o The interviewee _______ the next interviewee for investigators.

_________ Sampling
o It is a method to select a sample of n units out of N. It takes the first unit at random from
the first k units, and every
unit thereafter.
o Therefore, the selection of first unit determines the whole sample.
________Random Sampling
o Divide the population of N units into L subpopulations (known as strata) of each
consisting of , ,..,
units respectively. The L subpopulations are nonoverlapping, and together they comprise the whole population, so that:
+ +..+
.
o If a SRS is implemented on each subpopulation (stratum), then the whole procedure is
described as Stratified Random Sampling.
o However, we can use different sampling techniques for different subpopulations (strata).

_______ Sampling (One Stage Sampling, Two Stage Sampling, Multistage Sampling)
o Divide the population into L groups (clusters). Instead of drawing individual units from the
whole population, we draw 1 out of L clusters, and collect all the information from the
selected cluster.
