What is data?

Any info abt population

categorized or numerical
qualitative quantitative
How do we gather data?

surveys case study

opinion polls retrospective studies
interviews
observational study
experimental study

Population:
the entire group ur interested in learning abt

Census:
an account of everyone in thepopulation

Why don’t we use a census all of the time?

HOW GOOD IS A CENSUS?

Printed below is a story which can be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of a census. Assume
that the letter "G" or "g" is a defective product caused by the Gremlin, and that you are the
inspector. Allow yourself about 3 minutes to count all the G's or g's. Place your total at the bottom
of the story.

A FAIRY TALE

9
While strolling through a glen, a giddy English girl tripped on a rather large, almost gigantic
frog. The girl staggered but regained her footing and was about to go on when the frog began to
speak and gesticulate to gain the girl's attention. "I have not always been a frog," he croaked. The
a
frog's green coloring seemed to glow brightly as he continued. "I was once a gracious knight. A
gentleman called Gallant George Grenville, but was changed into this ghastly frog you now see by an
ungodly, magical genie. The spell can only be broken if I gain a girl's good graces and spend a night
in her garden." The agog girl was skeptical, of course. She gazed at the frog's pleading eyes and
8
soon her doubts gave way to her giddy nature. Giggling, she decided to grant the frog's wish and
took him home straightway, putting him by her garden gate. That night the girl slept grandly and 6
sure enough, when she awoke the following morning, there alongside her garden gate was the
6
gracious knight, George Grenville. Well, strangely enough, for a long, long time the girl's mother did
not believe that story.

Why don’t we do a census all the time?

not acurated might not be possible

time consuming beware of destructive

sampling
very expensive

part of population that u look at to generalize

Sample:
a

for the larger population

representative or largerpopulation
need a good sample
Random
Sampling design:

the method of collecting data randomly

Sampling frame:

the list of everyone in population

Note not always known

STEP 3: Types of Sampling Designs: Watch the video for each of the following sampling designs.

1) Convenience Sampling
Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o5UQqNQHDECsXX2_7_Qwlp9FmzwNgBpI/view?usp=sharing

Sampling who is easy to sample

or sampling who u think is best

Not Random Badd
2) Simple Random Sample (SRS)

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

doesn't guarantee good sample

3) Stratified Random Sample

2 take SRS fromeach

Advantages:
main more representative of population than SRS less

Need sampling frame
Disadvantages:

4) Cluster Sample

1 split intoclusters
2 randomly pink 1 or more
location and sample everyone

between
Advantages:
Rly good when traveling
don't have
locations igamdpiftgicyfat.me rly good when u
Disadvantages:

Not necessarily representative of population

5) Systematic Sample

collect data from every

nth person randomly
decide where to start
must start at random place

Advantages:
good when u don't have
the sampling frame random reducingbias very efficientcheap

large variation
Disadvantages:

attempts
STEP 4: For the following problems, identify the sampling method used (ex. SRS). Check your answers
below.

1) The Educational Testing Service (ETS) needed a sample of colleges. ETS first divided all colleges
into groups of similar types (ex. small public, small private, etc). Then they randomly selected 3
colleges from each group.

stratified Random Sample

2) A county commissioner wants to survey people in her district to determine their opinions on a
particular law up for adoption. She decides to randomly select city blocks in her district and then
survey all who live on those blocks.

Cluster sample
3) A local restaurant manager wants to survey customers about the service they receive. Each
night the manager randomly chooses a number between 1 and 10. He then gives a survey to
that customer and to every 10th customer after them, to fill out before they leave.

How to pick numbers randomly

1) Random digit table

EDIE 801001 000100 100000

Suppose your population consisted of these 20 people:

1) Aidan 11) Kathy
Remember

3)

Use the random digits to select a sample of five from these people.

2) Random number generator

Math → Prob → RandInt (lower bound, upper bound, <optional = how many numbers you want picked>)

Bias:
error not representative of larger population
cannot do anything w bad data

Places to watch out for Bias

Undercoverage a groupofppl inthe population that r not in sample
Everyone is invited to do survey morelikelystrong opinions willrespond
Convenient usually lackrandomness
r u missing groups in ur population
when ppl refuse to respond
If answers r given incorrect misunderstandingor liars
Wording or questions
STEP 7: For each of the following identify one source of bias in the study and discuss why it will not be representative
of the larger population. Video solutions follow.

1) Suppose that you want to estimate the total amount of money spent by students on textbooks each
semester at college and review receipts from purchases one day at lunch.

Bias data is only fromeye day during a certain time period

2) To find the average value of a home in Plano, TX, you average the price of homes that are listed for sale
from a realtor who is your friend.

Bias homes r only from f realtor not all

Ee
too convient
3) A website wants to gather information about the experience of their customers online and so includes a
link to a survey at the bottom of their main website page.

Bias thesurvey is partially hidden and is only

seen by ppl that have experience w the website
