Abstract

"Sampl~ng" a pot of curry to decide whether it needs more pepper or salt is a procedure every housewife knows, and it is one of the best examples of some important principles of sampling. The "population" in this cax is the pot of chicken-curry. The "sample" is the spoonful the housewife scooped from the pot. She stirred the curry first, before she drew the sample, to make sure of an equal distribution of the ingredients. This was her way of trying to make sure that the spoonful she tasted was a good representative of the content of the pot.
