Statistical literacy and critical thinking
For a statistics class project I used a convenience sample but the results may still be meaningful.
There are currently 3,242 convicts on death row based on 2010 data from the bureau of justice statistics we obtained a simple random sample of those convicts by compiling a numbered list then using a computer to randomly generate 20 numbers between 1 and 3,242 then selecting the convicts that correspond to the generated numbers.
