ABSTRACT

Only a few rudimentary concepts related to survey sampling are briefly set forth in this chapter. How to select a sample for which a selection-probability is specified to prescribe its performance characteristics is to be clearly narrated. Concepts of random samples and simple random samples are to be laid bare. How many samples are to be chosen and with what requirements also need to be clarified. How to measure accuracy in terms of unknowable features and how to assess its realization through measurements are briefly discussed.
