Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution
... Confidence Interval Estimation of a Population Proportion, a Example Assume that I select a random sample of size n from a population, where n is “large.” For each member of the sample, I want the answer to a yes-or-no question. For sample member i, let X i 1 , if the person says, “Yes,” or X i ...

... When the sample size is small relative to the population size (that is, n 0.05N), as happens in most practical applications, there is little difference between sampling with and without replacement and the answers from the two formulas are “close”. In this book we’ll be using the first formula wit ...

Sampling (statistics)
In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is concerned with the selection of a subset of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. Each observation measures one or more properties (such as weight, location, color) of observable bodies distinguished as independent objects or individuals. In survey sampling, weights can be applied to the data to adjust for the sample design, particularly stratified sampling. Results from probability theory and statistical theory are employed to guide practice. In business and medical research, sampling is widely used for gathering information about a population .The sampling process comprises several stages: Defining the population of concern Specifying a sampling frame, a set of items or events possible to measure Specifying a sampling method for selecting items or events from the frame Determining the sample size Implementing the sampling plan Sampling and data collecting Data which can be selected↑ ↑
