Lab 1 : Sampling
I.
Introduction
Definition
A process used in statistical analysis in which a predetermined number of observations will be
taken from a larger population. The methodology used to sample from a larger population will
depend on the type of analysis being performed, but will include simple random sampling,
systematic sampling and observational sampling. The sample should be a representation of the
general population.
The choosing sample is the most important thing that we cannot over it. Preparing the best sample
is the one part to help us to get accuracy data from the experiment in the laboratory. The purpose
of sampling is to provide various types of statistical information of a qualitative or quantitative
nature about the whole by examining a few selected units. The sampling method is the scientific
procedure of selecting those sampling units which would provide the required estimates with
associated margins of uncertainty, arising from examining only a part and not the whole.
The experiment is done in the aim of verifying the theories ,applying the methods to the real
practice .we do the experiment in order to fine out the answer or to test the theory .after doing the
experiment ,we will know how much accuracy is if compare to the calculate and compare with the
other methods .if we have difference method, the experiment helps as to find out which method is
the best one ,or which method is has higher accuracy.
Mentioning above ,there are a lot of experiments but in this case we do the experiment on Sampling
Method that is compare to three main methods of sampling procedure :Jones Riffle ,Cone and
Quartering and Table Sampling .We will get the best accuracy method amount the three.

2. Jones Riffle
Preparation Limestone and iron ore
Mixing Limestone and iron ore about 1.831 kg with ratio 2:8 per /mass
Bring mixed limestone and iron ore together input in Jones Riffle and Jones
Riffle will separated (limestone and iron ore) sample into parts ,the right and left
part . we process it 4 times with 1 in 8 of which will be entered by exchange the
lefe one time ,then the right and the last is the left.
After that ,we select the grain of limestone to weight and iron ore to weight with
the recorded each weight of those. we do this in order to calculate percentage of
white sandstone in the example .
After weight ,we take them to combine with the rest of store and than redo that
process as before about 8 times .
Calculate the average ,Variance ,Standard deviation and limit.

3. Table Sampler
Limestone 20% of total mass
Iron ore :80% of total mass
We mix limestone and iron ore equal to 1831g=1.831kg
Inject sample into table sample equipment .some rocks flow into the holes while
some flow outside the holes .the amount of rock go into the hole way are not
much than the rock go to not hole way because there is only on pass way if we
compare to hole way which have 12 holes.
We take the rock pass through the pass way to weigh and record the weight of
limestone and iron ore for calculating the average ,variance ,standard deviation
and limit.

Conclusion
According to the raw material is with ratio 2:8 of sandstone and iron ore in amount
the total mass is 1.831 kg it equal to 366.2g limestone and1464.8g iron ore .if we
compare to the percentage is 20% of limestone and 80% is iron ore.
Our experiment is in the main purpose is to observe the percentage of limestone and
iron ore whether its still in the sample quantity or not and if it is error.
The result show about the calculate of the three methods .Cone and quartering
method get the good mean about 20.93% compare to the origin percent is 20 % and
Error has 9.37% smallest than 10% ,small if we compare to Jones Riffle and Table
sampler .All the athematic mean of the three methods are in the distance of Limit
confidence .So we conclude that the best method for sampling is Cone and
Quartering.
To conclude, cone and quartering method in sampling has higher efficiency and
lower variance. It can be used as method of sampling in industries since it can
represent the whole materials. After doing sampling, we know how to do sampling
by selecting the best method with higher efficiency and the way to take samples
which represent the whole materials. Last but not the least, we can use statistical
analysis to analyze and making decision.
