TOPIC 01

Random sampling

Build understanding of random sampling through definitions, contrasting cases and justified applications.

What you will be able to explain

  • Use random sampling to state a justified conclusion.
  • Connect representations and justify the steps, including boundary cases.
  • Explain a solution and apply the idea to a changed situation.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Foundation#Your turn

A population has 100k students and a simple random sample has 10k. Find each student’s inclusion probability.

k=3k=3
  • Use the domain, units and sampling assumptions stated in the question.

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Identify the population and sampling mechanism before scaling counts.
Hint 2
All students must have the same chance under simple random sampling.
Worked solution
  1. Identify the population and sampling mechanism before scaling counts.

  2. Calculate or simplify this relation.

    p=30/300=0.1p=30/300=0.1
  3. This is inclusion probability, not the fraction who will answer a survey.

The requested value is 0.1.

Checks and common pitfalls: This is inclusion probability, not the fraction who will answer a survey.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • What must be true before using the main rule for random sampling?
  • Which representation makes this task easier, and why?
  • Change one assumption. Does the conclusion survive?

Board plan

  • Use random sampling to state a justified conclusion.
  • Sampling design: Simple random, systematic and stratified procedures define how units are selected.
  • Error sources: Coverage, nonresponse and measurement problems differ from random sampling variation.
  • Close with: conditions → representation → reasoning → check.

Anticipated thinking

  • Expected reasoning: Simple random, systematic and stratified procedures define how units are selected.
  • Expected reasoning: Coverage, nonresponse and measurement problems differ from random sampling variation.
  • Expected correction: A larger sample does not automatically remove selection bias.

Assessment checklist

  • 1: identify the givens and required quantity.
  • 1: choose a valid definition, representation or method.
  • 1: present connected, correct reasoning.
  • 1: check conditions and explain the result.
