A sample of a population should be large enough to accurately represent the characteristics of the entire population. It should provide reliable and valid results for any inferences drawn from the sample to the population. The size of the sample needed depends on the variability of the population, the desired level of confidence, and the margin of error allowed.

How large should the sample be to be large enough?

Span the full spectrum of a population's genetic variation. <apex> Reflects the genetic variation of a population...


When the sample size is large valid confidence intervals can be established for the population mean irrespective of the shape of the underlying distribution?

Yes, but that begs the question: how large should the sample size be?


Why use sample instead of population?

When performing an experiment or gathering data for statistics, it would be very difficult to gather information for every member of the group's population. Instead, one can gather information from a sample large enough to be representative of the population.


A histogram representing a sample taken from a population that is uniform?

For a large enough sample, it will resemble a rectangle whose base will be the range of the variable and the height will be the reciprocal of the number (or width) of the base.


A sample average can be used to estimate a population average precision if the sample is?

What is the process to collect the data in research process?

The process of collecting data in a research study typically involves identifying the data needed, designing data collection methods (such as surveys or interviews), gathering the data from participants or sources, organizing and storing the data securely, and analyzing the data to draw conclusions. It's essential to ensure data collection methods are ethical and reliable to produce valid results.

What does it means if the standard deviation is large?

that you have a large variance in the population and/or your sample size is too small


When population distribution is right skewed is the sampling also with right skewed distribution?

If the population distribution is roughly normal, the sampling distribution should also show a roughly normal distribution regardless of whether it is a large or small sample size. If a population distribution shows skew (in this case skewed right), the Central Limit Theorem states that if the sample size is large enough, the sampling distribution should show little skew and should be roughly normal. However, if the sampling distribution is too small, the sampling distribution will likely also show skew and will not be normal. Although it is difficult to say for sure "how big must a sample size be to eliminate any population skew", the 15/40 rule gives a good idea of whether a sample size is big enough. If the population is skewed and you have fewer that 15 samples, you will likely also have a skewed sampling distribution. If the population is skewed and you have more that 40 samples, your sampling distribution will likely be roughly normal.


List three characteristics good sample?

Ideally, representative samples should be: Taken at random so that every member of the population of data has an equal chance of selection; Large enough to give sufficient precision; Unbiased by the sampling procedure or equipment.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of large samples?

A large trial is necessary to provide good sample that is representative of the population
