Term
Randomness
Definition
We know when outcomes can happen, but cannot predict individual outcomes. Over the long haul, outcomes can have set percentages.
Term
Waiting Time
Definition
Infinite Number of tries
Term
Fixed Trial Size
Definition
Set number of tries
Term
What do you put in a Scheme?
Definition
single or double digits? Assign the digits. Ignore which numbers?
Term
Stopping Rule
Definition
When Do you stop each trial
Term
Count
Definition
what is the outcome of the simulation
Term
Non-Replacement
Definition
State if numbers can be repeated in each trial
Term
Simulation Conclusion
Definition
"Based on our simulation we estimate"
Term

Definition
scheme, stopping rule, count, non-replacement

Definition
Sampling schemes that combine two or more methods
Term

Term
Types of Systematic Bias
Definition
Undercoverage, Voluntary Response Bias, Wording Bias, Response Bias
Term
Undercoverage

Some Part of the Population is excluded
Term

Definition
People who feel more strongly are more likely to respond
