Re: st: Sampling without replacement?

[Steve Samuels <sjsamuels@gmail.com>]

Hi, Jessica:

Nothing you've said yet indicates that you have a random sample of any
kind, let alone one with or without replacement. To classify the sample, I'd
need to know the entire process by which the addresses were selected.

1. What's the list that you originally consulted to get the addresses?

2. How many addresses were on that list?

3. How many addresses did you send mailings to?

4. If the number in (3) is less than the number on the original list
(2), how did you select the addresses that got mailings?

5. How many households responded?

Thanks,


Steve

Hi,

I want to make sure that my assumption that I sampled without
replacement is correct. I conducted a choice experiment and to collect
my data I sent out a mail questionnaire. I sampled 1,000
heads-of-households (i.e. I had 1,000 addresses, all of them unique).
Each respondent answered 4 choice questions. Is this still considered
sampling without replacement?

Let me know if you need any additional information to answer my question.

Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jessica
