Simple Random Sampling
Summary
TLDRThis script introduces simple random sampling (SRS), a fundamental sampling technique used in statistics. It involves numbering a population and randomly selecting individuals for a sample. The process can be done manually, like drawing numbers from a hat, or with technology, such as a graphing calculator that generates random numbers. The script emphasizes the importance of not repeating numbers to ensure each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected, illustrating the method with an example of selecting 10 individuals from a population of 30.
Takeaways

Q & A
What is the acronym for Simple Random Sampling?
-SRS stands for Simple Random Sampling.
What is the basic principle of Simple Random Sampling?
-The basic principle of Simple Random Sampling is to select a sample from a population in such a way that every member of the population has an equal chance of being chosen.
How many people are in the example population mentioned in the script?
-The example population consists of 30 people.
What is the sample size that the script aims to select from the population?
-The script aims to select a sample size of 10 from the population.
What is one traditional method mentioned for selecting numbers in Simple Random Sampling?
-One traditional method mentioned is to put the numbers in a hat and draw them out randomly.
How can technology be used to assist in Simple Random Sampling?
-Technology, such as a graphing calculator, can be used to randomly generate numbers between a certain range to assist in the selection process.
What should be done if the same number is drawn or generated more than once?
-If the same number is drawn or generated more than once, it should be ignored and not counted again to ensure each member is only represented once in the sample.
What is the purpose of numbering the population in Simple Random Sampling?
-Numbering the population in Simple Random Sampling helps in identifying and selecting individuals randomly without bias.
Can you provide an example of a situation where Simple Random Sampling might be used as described in the script?
-An example situation could be selecting a sample of voters, dog walkers, or senior citizens from a larger group for a survey or interview.
What is the 43-cent pop game mentioned in the script, and how is it related to Simple Random Sampling?
-The 43-cent pop game is not explained in the script, but it seems to be a method of selecting a number to determine a win or loss, similar to the process of random number generation used in Simple Random Sampling.
Why is it important to understand Simple Random Sampling (SRS) before moving on to other sampling techniques?
-Understanding SRS is important because it is a fundamental sampling technique that forms the basis for other more complex sampling methods, ensuring a fair and unbiased selection process.

🔍 Introduction to Simple Random Sampling (SRS)
This paragraph introduces the concept of simple random sampling (SRS), a fundamental sampling technique in statistics. It explains that SRS involves selecting a sample from a population by assigning each member a unique number and then randomly selecting these numbers without replacement. The example given involves a population of 30 individuals, from which a sample of 10 is to be drawn. The process of numbering the population and using either a physical method like drawing from a hat or a technological method such as a calculator to generate random numbers is described. The importance of not repeating numbers to ensure each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected is also highlighted.

Transcripts
sampling techniques we're going to take
a look at five different sampling
techniques but the first one we want to
see and take a look at is simple random
sampling right here and sometimes simple
random sampling is referred to as SRS
you might read that in the book you may
read that you may hear me talk about it
in class but it's pretty basic because
what you have is the S the R and the s
simple random sample okay well let's say
this is my population I've got 30 people
in my population maybe there are 30
students they could possibly be 30 dog
walkers they could be 30 voters 30
senior citizens it doesn't really make a
difference but there's my population and
out of my population I want to get a
sample of head so I want to get a sample
of 10 of these voters or dog walkers
from my population with simple random
sampling one of the first thing that
things that you need to do is take your
population and you need to number them
off so this guy's number one this guy is
number two three four five six seven and
I could continue all the way until I get
over here to number thirty okay the next
thing that you need to do for simple
random sampling is to take each one of
those numbers and randomly choose the
numbers and then those would be the
people that you would interview or
survey there's some different ways that
you could do that very basically you
could just put the numbers one through
thirty in a hat and then draw numbers
out of the Hat the first ten numbers
that you draw would be the ten people
that you are going to survey or you
could use
technology there is a function on your
graphing calculators that we'll talk
about in class a little bit more that
can randomly generate numbers between 1
and 30 or you could randomly generate
numbers on the calculator between 1 and
100 that's what I for those of you that
know what the 43 cent 43 cent pop game
is that's how I choose the number to
determine whether you win the pop for
free or you have to pay for it so you
could use technology to randomly
generate numbers and let's say that the
numbers when I randomly generate them
the numbers that come up are the numbers
5 it's the first one that comes up and
then the next number that comes up is 30
so that one is right here the next
number that comes up is 19 so let's see
7 8 9 10 this one's 20 so right here is
19 the next number that comes up is 10
and then the next number that comes up
is 5 again Oh what do I do if I get 5 a
second time well let's just skip over it
I just ignore it as if it wasn't even
there I don't count number 5 twice or I
should say I don't interview or survey
number 5 twice that would be pointless
so I skip over over number 5 and then
the next numbers that come up are 111
the next number that comes up is 25 do I
have 10 yet 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 I need 3 more
26 is the next number that comes up 21
comes up and then 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 I
need one more so the next number that
comes up is 30 again once again I do not
interview 30 a second time and then the
next number that I get is 8 so that
would be my sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I just interview those 10 people because
those were the ten numbers that came up
on my calculator or those are the ten
numbers that I drew out of a hat that is
simple random sampling and we all use
simple random sampling for other
sampling techniques as well so make sure
that you understand SRS
