According to Cherry(2016) Simple random sampling<\/b> is \u201ca subset of individuals thatare randomly selected from a population of interest\u201d. In addition, it is the basic<\/p>\n
sampling technique where we select a group of subjects (a sample) for study from a<\/p>\n
larger group (a population). Each individual is chosen entirely by chance and each<\/p>\n
member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample. A<\/p>\n
sample is a smaller subset drawn from that larger population. Because the sample is<\/p>\n
random, every single member of the group stands an equal chance of being selected to<\/p>\n
be in the sample.<\/p>\n
Why is random sampling important?<\/b><\/p>\n
Random sampling is important because it helps cancel out the effects of unobserved<\/p>\n
factors.<\/p>\n
Example<\/b><\/p>\n
If you want to calculate the average height of people in a city and do your sampling in<\/p>\n
an elementary school, you are not going to get a good estimate. This is because the<\/p>\n
heights are conditional on a certain value of the unobserved factor “age”. So you do<\/p>\n
not have the unconditional mean. To make sure that specific levels of the hundreds of<\/p>\n
unobserved factors, like age, ethnicity, nutrition, gender, air quality, etc. are not<\/p>\n
conditionalizing your measurement of height, you have to make sure that your sample<\/p>\n
is collected in a way that on average, different levels of unobserved factors are<\/p>\n
represented. As a result, your measurements are not conditional on any specific level<\/p>\n
of any specific unobserved variable. The best way to do this is to use a random sample.<\/p>\n
Problem\/Prevention <\/b>(Horton, 2015)<\/p>\n
1. <\/b>Time- needed to gather the full list of a specific population<\/p>\n
2. <\/b>Capital- necessary to retrieve and contact that list<\/p>\n
3. <\/b>Bias- that could occur when the sample set is not large enough to adequately<\/p>\n
represent the full population.<\/p>\n
I would suggest to raise money from businesses and organizations that the research<\/p>\n
would affect to help conduct the study. In addition, I would make sure to set a<\/p>\n
schedule and calendar that is conducive to the members in the research, conducting<\/p>\n
the research, and organizing the data. In this way the planning and completion is<\/p>\n
effective. Lastly, I would make sure that all areas of a population are even and<\/p>\n
selected so that the set is large enough to represent a full population.<\/p>\n
