Teaching Notes

[/title][fusion_text]

There are 2 general techniques for collecting data, Census and Sampling.

Census – a census is when you collect data for every member of the group from the data set.

Sampling (sample) – a sample is when you collect data for a selected members of the group.

Positives and Negatives

[/title][fusion_text]

	Positives	Negatives
Census	+ More accurate because you have to survey everyone	– Takes a lot of time to survey everyone
Sampling	+ Much quicker to survey a select few rather than the whole population	– Less accurate as the sample might not be representative of the whole.
