DESCRIPTION

Vocabulary Nonsampling errors – errors that result from the survey process. Can be due to nonresponse of individuals selected, inaccurate responses, poorly worded questions, etc Bias – nonsampling error introduced by giving preference to selecting some individuals over others, by giving preference to some answers by wording the questions a particular way, etc Sampling errors – error that results from using sampling to estimate information regarding a population. Occurs because a sample gives incomplete information about the population

Vocabulary• Nonsampling errors – errors that result from the

survey process. Can be due to nonresponse of individuals selected, inaccurate responses, poorly worded questions, etc

• Bias – nonsampling error introduced by giving preference to selecting some individuals over others, by giving preference to some answers by wording the questions a particular way, etc

• Sampling errors – error that results from using sampling to estimate information regarding a population. Occurs because a sample gives incomplete information about the population

Sources of Nonsampling Error• Incomplete Frame• Nonresponse• Data Collection errors

– Interviewer error– Misrepresented answers– Data-entry (input) errors

• Questionnaire Design– Poorly worded questions– Inflammatory words– Question order– Response order

Errors in Sampling

Page 6: Lesson 1 - 4 Sources of Errors in Sampling. Objectives Understand how error can be introduced during sampling

Four basic sampling techniques• Simple random sampling (SRS)

• Stratified sampling– Some of all

• Cluster sampling– All of some

• Systematic sampling

Page 7: Lesson 1 - 4 Sources of Errors in Sampling. Objectives Understand how error can be introduced during sampling

Summary and Homework

• Summary– Stratified and cluster sampling are

different– Convenience sampling results are

generally suspect

• Homework– pg 37-39: 11-22 (all), 24, 25
