6 Imagine yourself a new researcher hired by the Lowry Park Zoo to oversee animal health maintenance. You need to test the health of the animals under your care, but you have 1,100 of them! You do not have time or resources for such a big project. Random sampling can help you accomplish your goal. All animal habitats are located on the territory of the zoo in four separate park areas devoted to Asia, Africa, Australia and Florida. 15 percent of the zoo population is in an endangered animal category. You are particularly interested in making sure that the health status of endangered animals is checked along with the health status of the unendangered ones. Please describe how would you select animals for the health checks to make sure they reflect the true picture of the animal health situation in the zoo based on the following questions: 1. What is your sampling frame? 2. How could you do random sampling of the animals? 3. What would be the best way to do cluster sampling for your project? Which clusters could you select? 4. How could you use stratified sample to make sure your project includes a representative number of endangered species? 5. Explain why your sampling techniques give accurate information about the health of the zoo animals and help you avoid time consuming and expensive animal testing. 6 Imagine yourself a new researcher hired by the Lowry Park Zoo to oversee animal health maintenance.
