Good & Bad Samples

5:19 Sampling
Spec S1 S5
  • A good sample accurately reflects the characteristics of a population
  • A sample is a group taken from a population that is easier to survey
  • Biased samples occur when certain characteristics are more likely to be selected
  • Biased samples can lead to incorrect conclusions about the population
  • Randomly choosing people or items from the population greatly reduces bias in a sample
  • Larger samples more accurately represent the population
  • Larger samples reduce bias by including low represented characteristics in the correct proportion
  • Larger samples are more difficult and expensive to survey
  • Survey size is usually a compromise between quality and cost
