When is a t test better than a z score?

When you don't have the population standard deviation, but do have the sample standard deviation. The Z score will be better to do as long as it is possible to do it.


Why are sample used in statistics?

Because a sample is information obtained from the population that will be used in hypothesis testing. WER 1.19.2011 Samples are used to save time and money when the population is large and when the units must be destroyed to gain information.


What are some benefits and drawback of stratified sampling?

There are a number of benefits and drawbacks to stratified sampling. Two benefits are:You have a cross-section of the population, so this is more likely to be representative and thus easier to generalise.You are less likely to get a "freak" sample.Two drawbacks are:This is a very long and difficult form of sampling. It could be inconvenient or costly.You may not stratify the population by the relevant factors - what if their gender isn't important, but their economic bracket is?


How does a sample size impact the standard deviation?

If I take 10 items (a small sample) from a population and calculate the standard deviation, then I take 100 items (larger sample), and calculate the standard deviation, how will my statistics change? The smaller sample could have a higher, lower or about equal the standard deviation of the larger sample. It's also possible that the smaller sample could be, by chance, closer to the standard deviation of the population. However, A properly taken larger sample will, in general, be a more reliable estimate of the standard deviation of the population than a smaller one. There are mathematical equations to show this, that in the long run, larger samples provide better estimates. This is generally but not always true. If your population is changing as you are collecting data, then a very large sample may not be representative as it takes time to collect.
