There are multiple statistical methodologies designed to minimize bias. One of the most elementary and broad methods is using simple random sampling. This involves taking surveys from a broad group variably.
Sampling techniques can provide statistically reliable and valid survey results except haphazard sampling.
The term statistically valid means a study is able to draw conclusions that are in agreement with statistical and scientific laws. This relies on mathematical and statistical laws.
Yes.... Example You can statistically prove the digressive rate of the population of Glowfish.
population -group statistically sampled.
Statistically - they are the predominant population of those areas.
Statistically the results will not be scientifically valid if the sample size is too small.
No.
No effect of second hand smoke on people has ever been proven using statistically valid level of confidence.
Sampling
Statistically, I'm not certain that this is a valid statement. As a percentage of the population represented, it probably isn't. More people live in cities therefore the number of gun crimes committed will naturally be larger number than the more sparsely populated suburbs and rural areas.
The standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the numbers are. Three points is needed to calculate a statistically valid meaningful standard deviation.
Here are three sentences using the word 'statistically': "Statistically speaking, this is one of the poorer towns in the region." "Statistically, there are more males than females here." "The newspaper is statistically the most read in the country."
