Year 13 students can use random sampling in real-life situations by following these steps:
Define the Population: Start by figuring out who you want to study. For example, you might choose all Year 13 students at your school.
Determine Sample Size: Decide how many people you want to include in your study. You should think about two things here:
This is where you would normally use a formula, but let’s keep it simple: just aim for a good number that makes sense for your study.
Select Participants: To pick your group, use a random number generator. This way, everyone has the same chance of being chosen to make the study fair.
Analyze Results: Look at the information you get from your study. Keep in mind that if you have more people involved, your results will usually be more trustworthy.
Consider Stratification: If your group has a lot of different types of people (like different ages, genders, or backgrounds), use stratified sampling. This means making sure you include a good mix of those subgroups so your study represents everyone well.
