The Sugar
data frame is available in the Little Apps.
Each Little App can take a simple random sample from any of the datasets. Choose a large dataset–use “All” for the sample size–and say that for the purpose of demonstration, we’ll consider this to be the population. Then show the process of selecting a simple random sample.
When a categorical explanatory variable is selected, you can also do a stratified sample. Ask what different between a stratified sample and a simple random sample. (You can turn stratification on and off to see the difference. This will be most obvious when the explanatory variable has very different numbers of points at the different levels.)
NOTE: There’s a StatPREP activity on sampling bias, but it is written in terms of the confidence interval, which has not yet been introduced in this book.
