Populationthe total of all possible values (measurement, counts, etc.) of a particular characteristic for aspecific group of objects.

Samplea part of a population selected according to some rule or plan.

Why sample?- Population does not exist- Sampling and testing is destructive

Population vs. Sample

Characteristics that distinguish one type of sample from another:

• the manner in which the sample was obtained

• the purpose for which the sample was obtained

Sampling

• Simple Random SampleThe sample X1, X2, ... ,Xn is a random sample if X1, X2, ... , Xn are independent and identically distributed random variables.

Remark: Each value in the population has an equal and independent chance of being included in the sample.

•Stratified Random SampleThe population is first subdivided into sub-populations for strata, and a simple randomsample is drawn from each strata

Types of Samples

Censored Samples• Type I Censoring - Sample is terminated at a fixed time, t0. The sample consists of K times to failure plus the information that n-k items survived the fixed time of truncation.

• Type II Censoring - Sampling is terminated upon the Kth failure. The sample consists of K times to failure, plus information that n-k items survived the random time of truncation, tk.

• Progressive Censoring - Sampling is reduced in stage.

Types of Samples (continued)

• Systematic Random Sample

The N items in the population are arranged in some order.

Select an item at random from the first K = N/n items, where n is the sample size.

Select every Kth item thereafter.

Generating values of a random variable using theprobability integral transformation to generate arandom value y from a given probability densityfunction f(y):

1. Generate a random value rU from a uniformdistribution over (0, 1).

2. Set rU = F(y)

3. Solve the resulting expression for y.

Because Monte Carlo simulation involves randomlyselected values, the results are subject to statisticalfluctuations.

• Any estimate will not be exact but will have anassociated error band.

• The larger the number of trials in the simulation, the more precise the final results.

• We can obtain as small an error as is desired byconducting sufficient trials

• In practice, the allowable error is generally specified,and this information is used to determine the required trials

• there is frequently no way of determining whether any of the variables are dominant or more important than others without making repeated simulations

• if a change is made in one variable, the entiresimulation must be redone

• the method may require developing acomplex computer program

• if a large number of trials are required, a great deal of computer time may be needed to obtainthe necessary results

Remark: The Central Limit Theorem provides the basis for approximating the distribution of X witha normal distribution with mean and standard deviation

The approximation gets better as n gets larger.

A manufacturing process produces parts with a mean diameter of 5 mm. An engineer conjectures that the population mean is 5.0 mm, and an experiment is conducted in which 100 parts are selected randomly and measured. It is known that the population = 0.1. The experiment indicates a sample average diameter = 5.027 mm. Does this refute the engineer’s conjecture?

Solution: Whether or not the data support or refute the conjecture depends on the probability that data similar to that obtained in this experiment can readily occur when = 5.0. In other words, how likely is it that one can obtain 5.027 with n = 100 if the mean is equal to = 5.0?

The probability that we choose to compute is given by P[( - 5) 0.027]. This is the same as asking, if the mean is 5, what is the chance that it will deviate by so much as 0.027?

Thus one would experience by chance a sample mean that is 0.027 mm from the population mean in only about 3.5 of 1000 experiments. Therefore the sample data does not support the engineer’s conjecture.

A manufacturer of car batteries guarantees that his product will last, on average, 3 years with a standard deviation of 1 year. If five batteries have lifetimes of 1.9, 2.4, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.2 years, is the manufacturer still convinced that his batteries have a standard deviation of 1 year? Assume that battery lifetime follows normal distribution .

is a value from a chi-squared distribution with 4 degrees of freedom. Since 95% of the 2 values with 4 degrees of freedom fall between 0.484 and 11.143, the computed value with 2 = 1 is reasonable, and therefore the manufacturer has no reason to suspect that the standard deviation is other than 1 year.
