The law of large numbers: if I have an in nitely long sequence of independent realizations of a random variable, then the sample mean will converge to the expectation of the random variable. On the other hand, when you take a relatively small random sample of subjects from a large population, even though the sampling is without replacement, we can assume independence because the mathematical effect of removing one individual from a very large population on the next selection is negligible. If you instead used simple random sampling, it is possible (although unlikely) that you would end up with only younger or older individuals. Sampling Sampling is a process used in statistical analysis in which a predetermined number of observations are taken from larger population. We ultimately focused on two random variables of particular relevance: the sample mean (x-bar) and the sample proportion (p-hat), and the last section of the Probability unit was devoted to exploring their sampling distributions. Randomization methods and hypotheses need to match the question of interest, and many choices are available… Describe and differentiate between random, stratified random, and haphazard sampling methods. In this sampling method, each member of the population has an exactly equal chance of being selected, minimising the risk of selection bias.
