Document Summary
The occurrence of some event in our sample does not influence the outcome of subsequent events in our sample. All objects of a particular kind in the universe or in some designated subdivision of the universe. Observations drawn from a portion of the population. Each possible sample of the same size that could conceivably be drawn from this population has an equal probability of being drawn. The mathematics of the collection, organization, and the analysis of population characteristics by inference from sampling. The characteristics that may differ from one member of a population to the next, such as the # of bands observed on antelopes. The values collected/observed of variables for individual members of the population. (datum is the singular) Any data that has infinite values with connected data points. A set of values with unconnected data points. Variables for which the individual observations can be put in order from smallest to largest, even though the exact values are unknown.
