Study Notes
Random Sampling Requirements
- Every individual in the population must have an equal chance of being selected for a sample.
- If selecting multiple individuals, probabilities must remain constant, achieved through sampling with replacement.
Independent Random Sample
- An independent random sample ensures each individual has an equal chance of selection.
- The probability remains consistent across multiple selections, important for the integrity of statistical analysis.
Multiplication Rule
- The multiplication rule pertains to the probability of independent events occurring together.
- It is commonly used to calculate the likelihood of multiple events happening in sequence.
Sampling with Replacement
- Involves returning selected individuals back to the population before the next selection.
- Ensures the probability of selecting any specific individual does not change, maintaining statistical reliability.
