Math (Sampling)

Yesterday for maths we learnt all about sampling. We learnt why we do it and how to do it and we learnt lots more. So today I am going to talk to you about samples.

There are three types of samples Random Sampling, Systematic Sampling and Striated Sampling.
There are also two types of Random Sampling, there is Drawing out of a hat and using a Ran on a calculator.

- what is a sample? A sample is to take a bit from the population.

- why take a sample? A sample is safer quicker and easier.

- what are some examples of sampling done in real life? There is lots of sampling done in real life they use it in Hospitals, Science labs, Restaurants and many more places.

- what does the word ‘population’ mean? A population means taking the whole group from the topic.

- how can you tell if are you sampling the right population? You can tell by looking at the statement and you take the whole group that you can see in the statement and then you should be sure that you are taking the right population.
