The document discusses the concept of Simple Random Sampling, defining key terms such as population, sample, parameter, and statistic. It explains the methods of sampling with and without replacement, as well as the process of selecting a simple random sample. Additionally, it covers sampling distributions and provides examples to illustrate the calculation of means and variances from samples.

There are so many techniques to draw a sample from a population,
Here we shall discus only the techniques of Simple Random Sampling.
Before introducing they20simple random sampling, some of the
important terms and the basic concepts are defined first,
Population
A complete collection of individuals, objects or measurements
under consideration in a statistical study will be called a population.
OR
A population may be defined as the large collection of similar units,
The number of units in the population (i.e. size of a population) is always
denoted by N.
For example, a population may be of heights of all students of a college, a
Population may be of all books in a library, a Population may be of all
Persons using a particular medicine, a population may be of prices of a
commodity over a period of time, etc.

Sampling with and without replacement
Sampling is said to be with replacement when we draw a unit from a finitt
population and return it to the population before the next unit is drawn. In this case each
unit can be drawn more than once and the probability of drawing of each unit remait
constant throughout the sampling procedure,
Sampling is said to be without replacement, if we do not return the selected v
the population and draw the next unit. In this case each unit cannot be drawn mo:
once and the probability of drawing of each unit changes throughout the i
procedure

Selection of a Simple Random Sample
population of 2000 students in a college and we want to ray
dents from this college. According to this techniques, °
sr ail we allot serial numbers from 1 to 1000 to all students i.e. 0001, oom
0003,....2000 and then prepare 2000 chits of these numbers. After shuffling the chi,
> draw any 100 chits one by one. The students bearing the numbers on the slips ville
included in our required sample. This procedure of making chits and then drawing js
called lottery method. This method is not convenient when we havea large Population, 5

pling Distributions
Consitier all possible samples of size n which can be drawn from a given population
(cither with or without replacement). For each sample we can compute a Statistic, suchas
the mean, variance, etc. Which will vary from sample to sample. In this way we obtains
distribution of the statistic which is called its sampling distribution. Therefore, the
sampling distributions may be of mean, variance, etc. .

Sampling Distribution of the mean ( x )
if we draw all possible samples each of size n from a finite population of N units
with mean and variance c? . Then we compute mean of every sample i.e. X. Therefore,
the statistic (X ) is now a random variable and form a probability distribution. This
distribution is called sampling distribution of mean.
The sampling distribution of mean has the following properties in case of sampling
without replacement and in case of sampling with replacement.
-Properties in case of Sampling without replacement
1 Mean of all sample means is equal to the population mean i.e E(X) = wet
X is said to be an unbiased estimator of w.
where o? is the population variance .
