Chapter 1 - Sampling and Experimental DesignRead sections - ( and ) Sampling Plans: methods of selecting individuals from a population. We are interested in samplingplans such that results from the sample can be used to make conclusions about the Samples: Bias occurs when the sample tends to differ from the population in a systematicway. When this happens, results from the sample can not be used to make conclusions about thepopulation of Sample- An \easily available" sample of individuals which was convenient forthe researcher to collect. This is aBADsampling plan since the individuals in the conveniencesample may systematically differ from the population and therefore may not represent the Response Sample- A sample of individuals who volunteer to participate. Thisis aBADsampling plan since the individuals who volunteer may systematically differ from thepopulation and therefore may not represent the entire of Bias in Sampling : Selection Bias- The Sampling plan excludes some part of the population from the selectionprocess.

We are interested in sampling plans such that results from the sample can be used to make conclusions about the population. Biased Samples: Bias occurs when the sample tends to ff from the population in a systematic way.
