Sampling

An Introduction for Social Scientists

About this book

Sampling (1967) aims to simplify sampling theory for social scientists, many of whom are unwilling mathematicians. It discusses percentages and weighted averages; frequency distributions, their means and variances; experimental and theoretical sampling distributions; problems of estimation and significance; practical sampling schemes and some of the difficulties of devising questionnaires. All these topics are illustrated by practical examples.
