Introduction to the Laws of Statistical Sampling cover

A concise, intuitive monograph that demystifies statistical sampling theory—especially as applied to elections and survey research—using real-world examples, simulations, and Excel-based tools. It’s designed to be accessible to readers with only high school algebra.

This book is a game-changer for anyone learning about statistical sampling. Professor Grofman takes a subject that′s usually complex and math-heavy, and he makes it intuitive and accessible. The way he breaks down key ideas, provides hands-on Excel simulations, and captures core principles in his Introduction to the Laws of Statistical Sampling is truly brilliant. If you′re a student looking to really understand sampling - not just memorize formulas - this is the book for you. And if you′re an instructor searching for a fresh approach to bring sampling to life, look no further. -- Tracy M. Walker
This book teaches statistical sampling and difference of means testing through elections and polling a data, a concept that should be easy and familiar for students to pick up. -- Nathan W. Prager
