Introduction to Sampling Theory Population and Random Sample Population and Random Sample Example 1 (6.1).[Throwing n Coins] Obviously,if we throw the n coins again,we will get a different sequence,such as x”=(1,0,0,1,1,1,,0). This is another data set from the random sample X". Apparently,the random sample X"can generate a total of 2m different data sets,each with size n.

Introduction to Sampling Theory Population and Random Sample Population and Random Sample Remarks: While in theory a random sample X"could generate many different data sets x",each with size n,one may only observe or obtain one data set x"in practice.This is the case with Examples 6.2 and 6.3 which are called time series data. For example,if we would like to obtain another data set for the Chinese GDP growth rate,we would have to let the Chinese economy repeat again back from 1953,and this is simply impossible due to the non-experimental nature of a real economy.

Introduction to Sampling Theory Population and Random Sample Population and Random Sample In statistical analysis,we still assume that the only ob- served data in Example 6.2 or Example 6.3 is one of many possible realizations from the random sample X". For some random samples,the order of the random vari- ables X1,...,Xn in the sample,together with their real- izations,may not be altered freely. An example is the time series random sample of Ex- amples 6.2,where the random variables X1,...,Xn are not jointly independent,and the behavior of X;may de- pend on the previous outcomes {X-1,X:-2,..}.Such a dynamic structure could not be preserved if one altered the order of random variables and their realizations.
