2. How does random selection of polled data contribute to a poll’s validity? Polling relies on the principles of inferential statistics‚ which states that we can draw inferences about a set by examining a randomly assembled subset. Random selection is key. 3. How does sample size and margin of error correlate? Margin of error tells us how close to the full population we can expect the sample to take us. They correlate because a sample tells us how many is selected at random from a size of

population of interest so that by studying the sample we may fairly generalize our results back to the population from which they were chosen. Let’s begin by covering some of the key terms in sampling like "population" and "sampling frame." Basic Concepts Of Sampling With a single grain of rice‚ an Asian housewife tests if all the rice in the pot has boiled; from a cup of tea‚ a tea-taster determines the quality of the brand of tea; and a sample of moon rocks provides scientists with information

they are going to us a sample to draw an inference about a population‚ it means that rather than survey the entire population‚ they’ll survey a smaller group and apply the results to a larger group. For example‚ if you take a neighborhood in a town with 100 homes and survey approximately 80% of the households and 76% of those families own multiple televisions you may infer that the majority of the 100 home neighborhood also own multiple televisions. A simple random sample is important for this
