    What is a sample?

    A smaller group taken from a larger population for investigation.

    What defines random sampling?

    Sample points are chosen using random numbers to reduce bias.

    How does systematic sampling differ from random sampling?

    Samples are taken at regular intervals, not randomly.

    What is an independent variable?

    The variable that is changed deliberately in an experiment.

    What is a dependent variable?

    The variable that is measured or observed in response to changes.

    What happens if systematic sampling is used on a patterned data set?

    It may lead to biased results due to existing patterns.

    What must a good sample do?

    Represent the whole population and be unbiased.

    What role does the independent variable play in an experiment?

    It is the cause of change that the scientist manipulates.

    What does the dependent variable depend on?

    It depends on the changes made to the independent variable.

    What is a sample?

    A smaller group taken from a larger population for investigation.

    What defines random sampling?

    Sample points are chosen using random numbers to reduce bias.

    How does systematic sampling differ from random sampling?

    Samples are taken at regular intervals, not randomly.

    What is the role of an independent variable?

    It is deliberately altered to observe its effect.

    What is a dependent variable?

    It is measured to assess the effect of changes made.

    What happens if systematic sampling is used on a patterned population?

    It may lead to biased results due to existing patterns.

    What must a good sample do?

    Represent the whole population and be unbiased.

    What is a sample?

    A smaller group from a larger population used to investigate patterns.

    What defines random sampling?

    Sample points are chosen using random numbers to reduce bias.

    How does systematic sampling differ from random sampling?

    Samples are taken at regular intervals, not randomly.

    What is an independent variable?

    The variable that is changed during an experiment.

    What is a dependent variable?

    The variable that is measured or observed in response to changes.

    What happens if a sample is biased?

    It may not accurately represent the whole population.

    What is required for a good sample?

    It must represent the population and be large enough for reliability.

    Why can't systematic sampling be used with existing patterns?

    It may not capture the variability of the population accurately.
