Sampling Methods | Year 1 Stats | A Level Maths
Sampling sits at the heart of statistical inference and choosing the right method really matters. In this lesson you will learn how to use the terms ‘population’ and ‘sample’, identify the standard sampling techniques — simple random, stratified, systematic, quota, and opportunity (or convenience) sampling — and select or critique a technique in the context of a statistical problem. You will also appreciate that different samples can lead to different conclusions about the population.
