Syllabus for October

Hi guys, I will start breaking things down by the month, so for the month of October, this is how I will break this down: 11 Chapters in the SG, 16 chapters in the text, related reading with 04a Maths 1, 2 to 2.5 weeks per chapter about 22 to 27 weeks, enough time for revisions:

I will refer to Main Text as MT from here on.

Oct 6 to 8 Chap 2 SG, MT Ch 1 & 2.1, Moser Ch 5,6, & 9 (don't have this text yet, but I'll try to get by) & Chapter 2 of the 21 Principles of Sociology SG, very simple

Tip: Understand & Memorize the words on ppg 20 & 21 of the SG
1. population
2. bias
3. sampling
a) random sampling
b) sample frame
c) quota sampling
i) quota controls.
4. Observational studies and designed experiments:
A) Designed Experiments
B) Observational Studies

What we're supposed to know according to the SG after this chapter.
1. Explain the difference between a population, a sample & a census
2. Discuss the idea of systematic bias
3. Describe simple random sampling and justify its use
4. Distinguish between stratified random sampling and quota sampling.
5. Explain why observational studies and designed experiments differ and you should be rady to start studying statistics!
