Sampling

Question 1

Ideal sample

Answer 1

Should be ideal in all of the intrinsic properties with the bulk of the material

Question 2

Population

Answer 2

Entire lot or production

Question 3

Sampling

Answer 3

Process of taking samples

Question 4

Sample increment

Answer 4

Individual portion of material collected by a single operation from parts of a lot
How often you take samples

Question 5

Samples

Answer 5

Small proportions used for the analysis

Question 6

Lab samples

Answer 6

Fraction of the sample that is used in the final laboratory analysis

Question 7

Sampling Steps

Answer 7

Identify the population
Select and obtain gross samples
Reduce the gross samples to a laboratory size sample for analysis

Question 8

Why sample

Answer 8

100% confidence = 100% of the sample

Nothing left to sell
Expensive, time consuming destructive
Not practical

Question 9

Random sample

Answer 9

Bulk material divided into a # of segments
Segments selected according to a predetermined pattern

Question 10

Systematic sample

Answer 10

Collected to test changes in composition with

Time
Temp
Location
Treatment

Question 11

Representative sample

Answer 11

Only from truly homogenous materials

Question 12

Composite samples

Answer 12

Obtained from special techniques designed to produce representative samples
Combine samples together to get representative sample

Question 13

Non probability sampling

Answer 13

Probability of including any specific portion is not equal
Select the sample deliberately

Question 14

Judgment sampling

Answer 14

At the discretion of the sampler
Gives you the info you need

Question 15

Convenience sampling

Answer 15

Ease of sampling is the key factor

Question 16

Restricted sampling

Answer 16

Entire population is not accessible
Take the samples you can access

Question 17

Quota sampling

Answer 17

Division of a lot of groups representing various categories, samples are taken from each group

Question 18

Manual sampling

Answer 18

Person taking the sample attempts to take a random sample to avoid human bias

Continuous sampling

Answer 19

Performed mechanical
Less prone to bias
Measure as it comes out of the process
