This paper presents the results of a limited investigation which brings into focus the difficulties encountered in developing exact distribution-free methods for stratified simple random sampling. It ...

Here are four programs that demonstrate sampling distributions. For each one, a "population" of 20,000 elements is established. The user selects a sample size and random samples are drawn from the ...

Information on Earth's biodiversity is increasingly collected using DNA-, image- and audio-based sampling. At the same time, ...
