4. There are 1500 people who belong to your church. The new minister wants to change from using traditional church music to rock-a-billy (a form of pop that combines elements of country and rock music). The Church Elders are not persuaded this change would be welcomes by most parishioners. It is decided that 10% (150 people) will be surveyed. Describe how you would select the group of people to be included in the sample. (In your answer include the following terms: population, population parameter, sampling frame, sampling unites, sample, sample statistics).

Explanation / Answer

Population - It is the entire pool, or from which statistical sample is drawn. Hence population is 1500 and population parameter is sample size used of research or experiment - hence 150. I would use stratified random sampling since even if the population belongs to one single religion young or middle aged ones have different views. views also change in gender. Hence stratas would be between 18-25 - young then 30-50 - middle aged and 55+ - older ones. Hence sample from everybody would be taken. Sample framing is percisely knowing names of all the people in the sample size, (here records of all 150 people)
