This technique involves collection of physical data from the subjects. It is considered more accurate and objective than other data collection methods.

Answer 25

Mechanical Devices

may be defined as measuring a small portion of something and then making a general statement about the whole thing. (Bradfield and Moredock, p.38)

Answer 26

SAMPLING

Question 27

is that unit about which information is collected and which provides the basis of analysis. They are the members of the population.

Answer 27

An element

is the theoretically specific aggregation of the elements. This is also called universe.

Answer 28

A population

Question 29

is that aggregation of elements from which the sample is actually selected.
