simple random sample


A sample S of size n from a population U of size N is calleda simple random sample if

  1. 1.

    it is a sample without replacement, and

  2. 2.

    the probability of picking this sample is equal to theprobability of picking any other sample of size n from the samepopulation U.

From the first part of the definition, there are (Nn)samples of n items from a population of N items. From thesecond part of the definition, the probability of any sample of sizen in U is a constant. Therefore, the probability of picking aparticular simple random sample of size n from a population ofsize N is (Nn)-1.

Remarks Suppose x1,x2,,xn are valuesrepresenting the items sampled in a simple random sample of sizen.

    σ2:=1Ni=1N(xi-x¯)2.
  • The variance of the sample mean x¯ from the truemean μ is

    (N-nnN)S2.

    The larger the sample size,the smaller the deviation from the true population mean. Whenn=1, the variance is the same as the true population variance.
