    Study Notes

    Methods of Collecting Primary Data

    • Experiment, Survey, Observation, and Case Study are methods of collecting primary data.
    • Interview is not mentioned, but it is also a method of collecting primary data.

    Sampling Concept

    • Sampling is a process of selecting a subset of units, called sample, from a larger population, called universe.

    Sampling Methods

    • Without replacement sampling method involves selecting a sample where each element is not replaced after selection, also known as Non-Random Sampling or Systematic Sampling.
    • Other sampling methods include Random Sampling, Stratified Random Sampling, Cluster Sampling, and Probability Proportional to Size Sampling.

    Stratified Random Sampling

    • In Stratified Random Sampling, the population is divided into smaller groups, called strata, based on common characteristics.
    • Ratio Estimator is used to estimate the population mean and total in Stratified Random Sampling.

    Design of Experiments

    • The fundamental principles of a design in the context of design of experiments include Replication, Randomization, and Local Control.
    • Replication ensures reliability of results, Randomization minimizes bias, and Local Control reduces experimental errors.

    Design of Experiments (continued)

    • The design that involves dividing the experimental units into homogeneous blocks before assigning treatments is called Randomized Block Design (RBD).
    • RBD is used to reduce the experimental error and increase the precision of results.
