  • Purpose of selecting a sample. Sample vs. population.

    Population You have identified a population for your research study and selected a sample. What is the purpose of selecting a sample? How are sample statistics different from population parameters? See attached files.

  • Importance of Sampling

    Consider in you response how the concepts of a population (and its associated parameters) and the sample (and its associated estimates) fits into the discussion. A population in statistics is deemed to be infinitely huge.

  • Testing regression coefficients

    These coefficients are the sample statistics that we use to estimate the population parameters (The population parameters are the coefficients that we could calculate if we used the entire population to calculate the coefficients rather than the sample

  • Parametric and Nonparametric Data

    Parametric data comes from a population that has an underlying population distribution than can be described with parameters - for example, normal distribution, which has two parameters - the mean and the standard deviation.
