Survey

A survey is an investigation of one or more characteristics of a population. Most often, surveys are carried out on people by asking them questions. The most common types of surveys are done by interview, Internet, phone, or mail. In designing a survey, it is important to word the questions so that they do not lead to biased results, which are not representative of a population. Ex: A survey is conducted on a sample of female physicians to determine whether the primary reason for their career choice is financial stability.

Three Key Elements of a Well-Designment Experiment

Three key elements of a well-designed experiment are control, randomization, and replication. Because experiments can be ruined by a variety of factors, being able to control these influential factors is important

b^2*(s_x)^2

Variance of Y = a + bX with Var(X) = (s_x)^2

Stratified Sampling

When it is important for the sample to have members from each segment of the population, you should use stratified sampling. Depending on the focus of the study, members of the same population are divided into two or more subsets, called strata, that share a similar characteristic. A sample is then randomly selected from each of the strata. Using a stratified sample ensures that each segment of the population is represented. Ex: To collect a stratified sample of the number of people who live in Calcasieu Parish households, you could divide the households into socioeconomic levels then randomly select households from each level.

Ex 2: Decide whether each number describes a population parameter or a sample statistic. 1. A survey of several hundred collegiate student-athletes in the United States found that, during the season of their sport, the average time spent on athletics by student-athletes is 50 hours per week. (Source: Penn Schoen Berland) The freshman class at a university has an average SAT math score of 514 In a random check of several hundred retail stores, the Food and Drug Administration found that 34% of the stores were not storing fish at the proper temperature.

1 . The average of 50 hours is based on a subset of the population, so it is a sample statistic 2. The average SAT math score of 514 is based on the entire freshman at this particular university, so it is a population parameter 3. The 34% of stores not storing fish at the proper temperature is based on a subset of the population, so it is a sample statistic

Experiment and its processes

In an experiment, a researcher deliberately applies a treatment before observing the responses. A treatment is applied to part of the population, called a treatment group, and responses are observed. Another part of the population may be used as a control group, in which no treatment is applied. The subjects in both groups are called experimental units. In many cases, subjects in this group are given a placebo, which is a harmless, fake treatment that is made to look like the real treatment. The responses of both groups can be compared and studied
