Hello all, - I have a population of 200 stores across the country. I'm interested to know if I can sub-sample a fraction of these stores and approximate the distribution of events. Might there be some Monte Carlo method for filling e.g., 30 rows in a new column with a random sub-sample from the original 200.
Then I could compare the distribution of the 30 counts in the sub-sample to the distribution in the population of 200.
Repeat this say 100 times to determine the risk of sampling 30 stores to represent the population of 200.
Thoughts? thanks, Paul
First 10 rows of the 200
Store# - column 1
Even count - column 2
