BASICS OF STATISTICS2 Who or what would be the precise target population? Why a sample of the population?A precise target population is a complete set of elements that possess some common characteristics defined by the sampling technique or criteria established by a researcher. It includes objects or persons to be studied in a given case (Patten, 2016). For example, in case one business student forms a precise population for the survey on the major in real estate. In case two, staff members and college forms the population target. In case three, residents from the community worthwhile for sampling. From this, the researcher determines the number and criteria to conduct this survey. Samples are reliable this is so because experiments can be done on a sample basis to verify findings. Sample data can be used to check data accuracy if all the units of a population are collected the received information may be correct (Oriani, 2016). Unlike complete counts, sampling saves time and cost of a survey process since a study is limited to a small geographical location and on a specified population number. Selecting a representative population for a large population is effective as it saves time and the resources required for the process. it works best for population that is difficult to access. For example, people in prisons, like crushed planes in a deep sea, presidents, etc are not accessible due to economical or time related factors. Case three: focus on the environment at homeOn case three. The appropriate sampling method for gathering data could be Simple random sampling. From its definition, it entails samples with equal probability of being selected. It also requires a reach out of the total scope of the population. Simply, the population to be tested should be sufficiently small, temporally and spatially for efficiency and efficient sampling. The

BASICS OF STATISTICS3data to be sampled, Provincial and federal policies, is insignificantly prone to change since the modification may involve many legal procedures and may even call for a meeting with the city leaders (Guerrero, Maas & Hogland, 2013). The intervals and randomness on Provincial and federal policies can be readily determined. Step by Step details on how to implement Simple Random Sampling.1.Objectively prepare an exhaustive list (sampling frame) of all members of the population interest from which samples are drawn. From the sample frame, a repetitive process of selecting recurs o every selection round.2.I will randomly select individuals or members of the sample from the list prepared or the sample. 3.I will use a particular scientific procedure to ensure that the selection is purely by chance.For example, hat-and –head method or random number table. Random number table is preferred in this case.4. Coming up with an effective and efficient method or gathering information is the next step. In involve understanding the resources required for the collection process. An efficient and effective way, in this case, preparing a questionnaire.5.Going to the field to distribute and filling in the questionnaire will follow. 6.Analyzing the collected data to draw finding and creating a meaningful report will be the last step in the sampling process.
