Problem
Jack owns 800 apple trees. To determine how many apples the trees are producing, he instructs his four sons to each count the apples from 200 trees.
(1) Explain why there will be no sampling error in this process.
(2) Two of the sons only count the apples on the tree itself, whilst the other two sons also count the apples on the ground beneath the tree. What type of error is this?
