Mouse Trap
Montāžas Teksta
- I've finally made a mouse trap that's going to keep 95% of the mice trapped!
- 9 WEEKS EARLIER
- So to start collecting data, I have to collect some mice to test on. I've seen a few mice in the basements
- Wait how am I going to collect the sample?! There's so many different sampling methods
- Maybe I'll do a simple random samplebecause every member of the mice population has the same probability of being included in the sample. That will give me a fair sample to test my trap on...
- This method is straightforward to implement and can be more efficient than simple random sampling when there is some order or pattern in the population.
- But maybe the systematic sample would be more efficient because the starting point is randomly determined, and then every nth individual is selected to be part of the sample
- Wait actually, with mice the stratified method might be better...I would divide the population into different strata based on certain characteristics that are relevant to the study
- I should make sure this trap works on all different types of rats and mice
- Since the mice population is widely dispersed the cluster sampling might be more efficient
- In a cluster sample, the population is divided into clusters or naturally occurring groups, so I will randomly select entire clusters and include all the rodents within those clusters in the sample
- After exploring my options, I've concluded that a clustersample would be the most efficient.
- Because testing rodent traps requires access to rodents, which are often concentrated in specific areas or clusters, such as certain buildings, fields, or regions.
