Data Collection and Sampling Techniques

Overview: This section covers methods for collecting data and various sampling techniques.

  • Data Collection:
    • The process of gathering information to analyze and draw conclusions. Data can be collected through surveys, experiments, or observational studies.
  • Sampling Techniques:
    • Random Sampling: Every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
    • Stratified Sampling: The population is divided into subgroups (strata), and samples are drawn from each stratum.
    • Convenience Sampling: Samples are taken from a group that is easily accessible.
  • Real-Life Example:
    • A political poll may use random sampling to ensure that every voter has an equal chance of being included, leading to more accurate results.
