as Salam Alaykum,

Just need help with this I'm clueless:

These are the terms and I have to connect them with the meaning:

Quota Sampling, Systematic Sampling, Convenience Sampling, Simple Random Sampling.

1/In this type of sampling, every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. A random number table may be used to select the sample.

2/This method of sampling is often used in market reseach. The interviewer questions a certain number of people. The people could be of a certain age, gender or social class. The interview chooses the sample of people to be asked.

3/The sameple is chosen in the simplest possible way. Forexample, a company is researching the popularity of different brands of cola. An interviewr stands inside a supermarket and asks 100 customers for their preferences.

4/In this type of sampling, every member of the sample is chosen at regular intervals from a list.

I did Statistics in college, and got an A, Alhamdulillah. So I think that is right inshaaAllaah. I'll try and explain it:


Quota = a prescribed number;

Systematic = regular intervals

Convinience = they want to ask about cola, so they stand outside a supermarket from where people are likely to know about it

Simple random = everyone has a chance as it is random

The probability that the coin lands heads is 0.7. Peter throws the coin twice.

(i) What is the probability that Peter gets two heads?

0.7 x 0.7 = 0.49

(ii) What is the probability that peter gets two tails?

0.3 x 0.3 = 0.09

Make dua for me. Assalamu Alaikum.

Erm yea explain, cos I dont even get the 0.7 they give.

Edit:I get it, you took 0.7 and times it by itself?

Then took the remaining from 0.7 to 1 which is the tails which is 0.3 and then times it by itself?


WOOOOHOOOOO Takbir! I hear Ali may Allah be pleased with him was good at maths.

Probability of getting:
Head = 0.7
Tail = 0.3

Say he got head first, and than a another head if so probability would be 0.7 multiplied by 0.7 = 0.49

For two tails simply multiply 0.3 to 0.3 = 0.09

Hope thats correct

You don't need to get that bro. It is a biased coin, which means it won't give the same 0.5 and 0.5 result as normal coins do.

Probability is measured from 0 to 1.

0 being there is no probability that it occurs and 1 being the that the event would definitely occur.

0.7 is the chance or probability that the coin would land on its head when it is tossed. And we derive the probability of it landing on its tail by simply subtracting 0.7 from 1 .
