A Level Stats 2 Data Collection

Types of sampling include simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, quota sampling, and opportunity sampling. Simple random sampling gives every sample an equal chance of being selected from the sampling frame. Systematic sampling chooses items at regular intervals from the sampling frame. Stratified sampling takes random samples proportionally from mutually exclusive groups. Quota sampling takes a non-random sample to fulfill quotas for different categories. Opportunity sampling selects a non-random sample from available units.

Types of sampling

Key words & Definitions 1. Simple Random Sampling


Every sample of a specified size has an equal chance
1. Population of being selected from a sampling frame.
Whole set of items that could be sampled. 2. Systematic Sampling
2. Census Items are chosen at regular intervals from a sampling
Observations taken from the entire frame.
population. 3. Stratified Sampling
3. Sample Random samples are taken proportionally from
Observations taken from a subset of the mutually exclusive groups or strata.
population. 4. Quota Sampling
4. Sampling Unit Non-random sample is taken to fulfil predetermined
One individual observation set from the quotas for different categories.
population. 5. Opportunity Sampling
5. Sampling Frame Non-random sample is selected from available
A numbered (or named) list of individual sampling units.
sampling units.
6. Strata
A subset of the population.
Census vs sample
Types of Data Census Sample
1. Quantitative Data Includes every member Less time consuming
Variables or data associated with a numerical value.

2. Qualitative Data give a fully data. Fewer people

Time consuming & May not be fully
3. Continuous
Disadvantages

expensive. Cannot be representative of


Variables that can take any value.. Measured. used when testing population. Outliers or
4. Discrete process destroys the whole subgroups
item being tested. possibly excluded.
Variables that can only take specific values.. Counted.

What do I need to know?


1. Advantages & Disadvantages
Why is one type of sampling more appropriate than another. Consider time, cost, bias, ease, accuracy of
population representation.
2. How to work with Grouped Data
Understand inequalities. Find maximum, minimum & midpoint of each group.
3. How to use the Large Data Set
Be able to clean data, take samples and comment on findings.
