V.I.P. Vocabulary The population is the entire group being studied. The sample is the part of the population being surveyed.
ONE MORE TIME!!!! This must really be important! Population - the entire group being considered for a survey Sample - the part of the population being surveyed
To get accurate information, it is important to use a good sampling method. In a random sample, each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. A random sample is best, but other methods can be used.
Systematic Sampling A sample of the population that has been selected using a pattern.
Stratified Sampling A sample of a population taken at random from randomly chosen subgroups
Convenience Sampling A sample based on members of the population that are easiest to reach
Voluntary-response a.k.a Self-selected A sample in which members choose to be in the sample
The larger the sample size, the better your sample will represent the entire population.

A fitness magazine printed a readers survey. Statements 1, 2, and 3 are interpretations. Which do you think the magazine would use? 1. The average American exercises 3 times a week. 2. The average reader of this magazine exercises 3 times a week. 3. The average reader who responded to the survey exercises 3 times a week.
People who read fitness magazines are likely to be interested in exercise. This could make the sample biased in favor of people who exercise more times per week. March 10, 2014
Sometimes, these sampling methods result in biased samples. A biased sample does not accurately represent the population. The data collected from biased samples is not reliable.

The United States Census Bureau conducts a survey every ten years to determine the population of the United States. The first U.S. census taken was in 1790. Two hundred men rode on horseback to count the number of people in each household, and data was recorded on small scraps of paper. This census cost the government just $45,000! Until 1960, the population survey was conducted mostly door to door. At that time, bureau officials realized that this method was inefficient because the population was growing rapidly and becoming more mobile and diverse. By 1980, 90% of the census was taken by mail.
