Obtaining a Sample from a Full Sampling Frame

A state agency is charged with ensuring fair property taxes from county to county. Taxes are based on the appraised value of the property, so the agency wants to survey a sample of properties by county to be sure that each county's records are equally up to date. However, resources for obtaining current appraisals are limited, so it's important that what is available is used wisely. The agency decides to employ complex sampling methodology to select a sample of properties.

A listing of properties is collected in property_assess_cs.sav. See the topic Sample Files for more information. Use the Complex Samples Sampling Wizard to select a sample.
