Resumen de Implementation of a Python Program to Simulate Sampling

Nicole M. Dickson Karn, Steven Orosz

• Proper sampling techniques are of the utmost importance in obtaining accurate and precise results in chemical analysis. A Python language computer simulation providing fast feedback on sampling concepts and statistics was delivered to students through Google Colab. Students used the simulation to aid in their exploration of sampling and sampling statistics and to answer questions in a guided learning activity. This activity was conducted in a virtual environment, but it could easily be used in an in-person setting. Students reported that the simulation was easy-to-use, effectively illustrated the concepts of sampling, and supported the stated learning objectives.
