  1. Chapter 14 Sampling and Simulation McGraw-Hill, Bluman, 7th ed., Chapter 14

  2. Chapter 14 Overview Introduction • 14–1 Common Sampling Techniques • 14–2 Surveys and Questionnaire Design • 14–3 Simulation Techniques and the Monte Carlo Method Bluman, Chapter 14

  3. Chapter 14 Objectives Demonstrate a knowledge of the four basic sampling methods. Recognize faulty questions on a survey and other factors that can bias responses. Solve problems, using simulation techniques. Bluman, Chapter 14

  4. 14.1 Common Sampling Techniques • For a sample to be a random sample, every member of the population must have an equal chance of being selected. • When a sample is chosen at random from a population, it is said to be an unbiased sample. • Samples are said to be biased samples when some type of systematic error has been made in the selection of the subjects. Bluman, Chapter 14

  5. Reasons for Using Samples 1. It saves the researcher time and money. 2. It enables the researcher to get information that he or she might not be able to obtain otherwise. 3. It enables the researcher to get more detailed information about a particular subject. Bluman, Chapter 14

  6. Sampling Methods • Random • Systematic • Stratified • Cluster • Other Methods Bluman, Chapter 14

  7. Random Sampling • A random sample is obtained by using methods such as random numbers, which can be generated from calculators, computers, or tables. • In random sampling, the basic requirement is that, for a sample of size n, all possible samples of this size have an equal chance of being selected from the population. Bluman, Chapter 14

  9. Example 14-1: Television Interviews Suppose a researcher wants to produce a television show featuring in-depth interviews with state governors on the subject of capital punishment. Because of time constraints, the 60-minute program will have room for only 10 governors. The researcher wishes to select the governors at random. Select a random sample of 10 states from 50. Bluman, Chapter 14

  10. Example 14-1: Television Interviews Step 1: Number the states from 1-50. Bluman, Chapter 14

  11. Example 14-1: Television Interviews Step 2: Find a random number table. Close your eyes and point to a spot on the table. Bluman, Chapter 14

  12. Example 14-1: Television Interviews Step 3: Write down the next 10 numbers less than 51. 10 numbers: 06 13 29 35 50 20 27 33 31 30 Bluman, Chapter 14

  14. A bit easier For ease of reading you can store your random numbers in any of the lists in your calculator. You may also create a list. Bluman, Chapter 14

  15. Example 14-1: Television Interviews 10 numbers: 06 13 29 35 50 20 27 33 31 30 The governors from Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wyoming should be interviewed based on this random sample. Bluman, Chapter 14

  16. Systematic Sampling • A systematic sample is a sample obtained by numbering each element in the population and then selecting every third or fifth or tenth, etc., number from the population to be included in the sample. This is done after the first number is selected at random. Bluman, Chapter 14

  17. Chapter 14Sampling and Simulation Section 14-1 Example 14-2 Page #724 Bluman, Chapter 14

  18. Example 14-2: Television Interviews Using the population of 50 states in Example 14–1, select a systematic sample of 10 states. Step 1: Number the population units as shown in Example 14–1. Step 2: Since there are 50 states and 10 are to be selected, the rule is to select every fifth state. This rule was determined by dividing 50 by 10, which yields 5. Step 3: Using the table of random numbers, select the first digit (from 1 to 5) at random. In this case, 4 was selected. Bluman, Chapter 14

  19. Example 14-2: Television Interviews Using the population of 50 states in Example 14–1, select a systematic sample of 10 states. Step 4: Select every fifth number on the list, starting with 4. The numbers include the following: 4, 9, 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39, 44, 49 The selected states are as follows: 4 Arkansas 29 New Hampshire 9 Florida 34 North Dakota 14 Indiana 39 Rhode Island 19 Maine 44 Utah 24 Mississippi 49 Wisconsin Bluman, Chapter 14

  20. Stratified Sampling • A stratified sample is a sample obtained by dividing the population into subgroups, called strata, according to various homogeneous characteristics and then selecting members from each stratum for the sample. Bluman, Chapter 14

  21. Chapter 14Sampling and Simulation Section 14-1 Example 14-3 Page #725 Bluman, Chapter 14

  22. Example 14-3: Students Using the population of 20 students shown below, select a sample of eight students on the basis of gender (male/female) and grade level (freshman/sophomore) by stratification. Bluman, Chapter 14

  23. Example 14-3: Students Step 1: Divide the population into two subgroups, consisting of males and females. Bluman, Chapter 14

  24. Example 14-3: Students Step 2: Divide each subgroup further into two groups of freshmen and sophomores . Bluman, Chapter 14

  25. Example 14-3: Students Step 3: Determine how many students need to be selected from each subgroup to have a proportional representation of each subgroup in the sample. There are four groups, and since a total of eight students are needed for the sample, two students must be selected from each subgroup. Step 4: Select two students from each group by using random numbers. In this case, the random numbers are as follows: Group 1: 5, 4 Group 2: 5, 2 Group 3: 1, 3 Group 4: 3, 4 Bluman, Chapter 14

  26. Example 14-3: Students The stratified sample then consists of the following people: Bluman, Chapter 14

  27. Cluster Sampling • A cluster sample is a sample obtained by selecting a preexisting or natural group, called a cluster, and using the members in the cluster for the sample. Bluman, Chapter 14

  28. Other Sampling Methods • In sequence sampling, which is used in quality control, successive units taken from production lines are sampled to ensure that the products meet certain manufacturing standards. Bluman, Chapter 14

  29. Other Sampling Methods • In double sampling, a very large population is given a questionnaire to determine those who meet the qualifications for a study. After the questionnaires are reviewed, a second, smaller population is defined. Then a sample is selected from this group. • In multistage sampling, the researcher uses a combination of sampling methods. Bluman, Chapter 14
