Sample is any subset of the population. The sample size is always less than the total
size of the population.
A statistic is a statistical measure based only on all the units selected in a sample.
Methods in Statistics
• The statistical process involves collecting, summarizing, analyzing, and
interpreting variable numerical data. Some methods of statistics are given
below.
• Data collection
• Data summarization
• Statistical analysis

Continuous data- it has no fixed value but has a range that can be measured.
e.g., Height and weight of a student, Voltage, Temperature, Length.
A continuous variable is a variable which may take all values within a given
range. Its values are obtained by measurements
e.g. height, volume, time, exam score etc.
A discrete variable is one whose value change by steps. Its value may be
obtained by counting. It normally takes integer values.
e.g. number of cars, number of chairs.

It requires the clear statement of the problem indicating the type of information which
is needed and the use for which it is needed.
For example: The researcher is interested in knowing the nature of price change over
a period of time, it would be necessary to collect data of commodity prices.
It must be decided whether it would be helpful to study wholesale or retail prices and
the possible uses to which such information could be put.
Failure to set out clearly the purpose of survey is bound to lead to confusion
and waste of resources.
After the purpose of enquiry has been clearly defined, the next step is to
decide about the scope of the survey.
Scope of the survey means the coverage with regard to the type of
information, the subject-matter and geographical area.
Availability of Time
The investigation should be carried out within a reasonable period of
time, failing which the information collected may become outdated, and
would have no meaning at all.
For instance, if a producer wants to know the expected demand for a
product newly launched by him and the result of the enquiry that the
demand would be meager takes two years to reach him, then the whole
purpose of enquiry would become useless because by that time he would
have already incurred a huge loss. Thus, in this respect the information
is quickly required and hence the researcher has to choose the type of
survey accordingly.

Availability of Resources
For example, when we buy gold, even a difference of 1/10th gram in its weight is
significant, whereas the same will not be the case when we buy rice or wheat.
However, the researcher must aim at attaining a higher degree of accuracy,
otherwise the whole purpose of research would become meaningless.
A well defined and identifiable object or a group of objects with which the measurements
or counts in any statistical investigation are associated is called a statistical unit.
In number of situations the units are conventionally fixed like the physical units of
measurement, such as meters, kilometers, quintals, hours, days, weeks etc., which are well
defined and do not need any elaboration or explanation.

Sources of Data
After deciding about the unit, a researcher has to decide about the
source from which the information can be obtained or collected. For
any statistical inquiry, the investigator may collect the data first hand
or he may use the data from other published sources, such as
publications of the government/semi-government organizations or
journals and magazines etc.
The information collected in this manner is first hand and also original
in character.

Convenience Sampling
Convenience sampling attempts to obtain a sample of convenient elements.
Often, respondents are selected because they happen to be in the right place at the
right time.

Judgmental Sampling
Judgmental sampling is a form of convenience sampling in which the
population elements are selected based on the judgment of the researcher.
• Test markets
• Purchase engineers selected in industrial marketing research
• Expert witnesses used in court

Quota Sampling
Quota sampling may be viewed as two-stage restricted judgmental sampling.

• Each possible sample of a given size (n) has a known and equal
probability of being the sample actually selected.

Systematic Sampling
• If the ordering of the elements produces a cyclical pattern, systematic
sampling may decrease the representativeness of the sample.
For example, there are 100,000 elements in the population and a sample
of 1,000 is desired. In this case the sampling interval, i, is 100. A random
number between 1 and 100 is selected. If, for example, this number is 23,
the sample consists of elements 23, 123, 223, 323, 423, 523, and so on.

Stratified Sampling
• A two-step process in which the population is partitioned into subpopulations,
or strata.
• The strata should be mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive in that every
population element should be assigned to one and only one stratum and no
population elements should be omitted.
• Next, elements are selected from each stratum by a random procedure, usually
SRS.

Stratified Sampling
• Finally, the variables should decrease the cost of the stratification process
by being easy to measure and apply.
19
Stratified Sampling
• In proportionate stratified sampling, the size of the sample drawn from
each stratum is proportionate to the relative size of that stratum in the total
population.

Cluster Sampling
• The target population is first divided into mutually exclusive and
collectively exhaustive subpopulations, or clusters.
• For each selected cluster, either all the elements are included in the
sample (one-stage) or a sample of elements is drawn probabilistically
(two-stage).
