STATISTICAL SAMPLING APPLIED THROUGH EXCEL. CONCEPTS AND EXERCISES

This book presents a wide variety of statistical sampling exercises for finite populations, serving as a fundamental complement to understanding the concepts in this field. In addition to step-by-step solutions, it demonstrates how to solve the exercises using Excel. It begins by presenting exercises related to the basic concepts of sampling theory, such as estimators and their distribution, general methods of sample selection, and error analysis. It then solves exercises related to different types of sampling, including simple random sampling, stratified sampling, systematic sampling, indirect estimators such as ratio, regression, and difference, and single-stage, two-stage, and multi-stage cluster sampling.
