人教A版高中数学必修二简单随机抽样教学设计
知识探究（一）：普查与抽查像人口普查这样，对每一个调查调查对象都进行调查的方法，称为全面调查（又称普查）。 在一个调查中，我们把调查对象的全体称为总体，组成总体的每一个调查对象称为个体。为了强调调查目的，也可以把调查对象的某些指标的全体作为总体，每一个调查对象的相应指标作为个体。问题二：除了普查，还有其他的调查方法吗？由于人口普查需要花费巨大的财力、物力，因而不宜经常进行。为了及时掌握全国人口变动状况，我国每年还会进行一次人口变动情况的调查，根据抽取的居民情况来推断总体的人口变动情况。像这样，根据一定目的，从总体中抽取一部分个体进行调查，并以此为依据对总体的情况作出估计和判断的方法，称为抽样调查（或称抽查）。我们把从总体中抽取的那部分个体称为样本，样本中包含的个体数称为样本量。
