Yesterday in Maths we learned about sampling. Write about sampling. You should include

- what does the word ‘population’ mean?

- how can you tell if are you sampling the right population?

- what sized sample is representative?

- yesterday you took a sample using one method of sampling, explain what you did and your findings

NO question headings. Write in a paragraphing style. Remember use examples.

A sample is something where you get a small amount of investigation

We take a sample from the population to collect data and to get information in small amounts & it's a quicker, safer & cheaper way of testing. 

Examples: 

Hospitals, Bloods tests

School

Scientist

Cooks, MKR & Master chef 

Population means the group of people 

You can tell if you are sampling the right population by having a mixture of people also called random sampling, there are two type of sampling fair & biased
