Question

General Definition: Proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern. For example: "I walked around the store and randomly picked a person to talk to". Building Trades: lacking uniformity of dimensions. For example, random pieces of wood. Statistics Definition: Selecting individual people or objects from a population where every person or object in the population has an equal probability of being chosen. Write a small paragraph discussing how the "general" and "building trades" definitions of random differ from the "statistics" definition of random. Also discuss why these definitions create confusion for statistics students. For example, many people out in the world say they collected "random data" when it is not random data. In fact they do not even know what random data is.

Answer 1

Following are the responses to the given question:

Explanation:

In the first example, a team walks into a bar & chooses the random person to speak, in which situation, the woman who walks to the club has made a choice, he has selected a people with and who he wants to speak, it is a subjective preference. A choice cannot be random in statistical since it has a subjective preference. The first interpretation may therefore be randomized in general, but not arbitrary in statistics.

In the second example, i.e., the definition of Building tracks Example, a randomized wood piece is an identical piece or is different in size from other pieces. In this, piece wood has been differentiated by one's looks so, when asked to pick a random piece, we are likely to choose a non-uniform part rather than the uniform one. It is a random racial bias, so again in constructing pursuits the second definition could be random, but not a discrete one in stats.

In the identification numbers of random, we intentionally state that equal probability for each unit in the population of inclusion in the sampling. The definition essentially includes all sorts of predilection, and therefore refers to true allegiance, when we neither make that choice nor want to choose a separate unit.
