The Wisdom of Statistics
“America's poverty problem is not one of material scarcities but of abundant bad behavior. There are three simple behavioral rules for avoiding poverty: finish high school, produce no child before marrying, and no child before age 20. Only 8% of families who follow these rules are poor; 79% of those who do not are.” -- George Will

Substantive Test SamplingTWO COMMON METHODS
Probability Proportionate to Size– sample overstatements & extend results to population– Stats based on 1 tailed test of attribute sampling
Variables sampling– sample account $ values& extend result to population– Mean-per-unit (sample mean x N)– Difference estimation (ave.AV-ave.BV x N)

PPS Sampling Advantages
No Standard Deviation calculation required Automatic stratification Smaller sample size

Steps in PPS Sampling
Determine the relevant population Calculate the sample size (p. 413) Draw the sample (p. 413) Evaluate the results (p.414)
– Projected Error– Precision – Upper error limit

Steps in Variables Sampling
Determine the relevant population Determine the sample size (p. 402-4) Select the sample Evaluate the results
– Precision (p. 403-4)– Reliability/Confidence level (p.403-5)
