STEPS ON DESIGNING A SURVEY

Question 19

process of selecting units from a population or sample

Answer 19

Sampling

Question 20

representative of the target population

Answer 20

Sample

Question 21

sampling technique in which the researcher chooses samples from a larger
population using a method based on the theory of probability

• most critical requirement is that everyone in your population has a known and
  equal chance of getting selected
• gives the best chance to create a sample that is truly representative of the
  population

Answer 21

Probability Sampling

Question 22

basic sampling technique where a group of subjects ia selected for
study from a larger group

Answer 22

Simple Random Sampling

Question 23

- obtained by taking samples from each stratum or sub-group of a population

Answer 23

Stratified Sampling

Question 24

- sampling technique where the entire population is divided into groups or clusters, and a random sample of these clusters are selected - researchers divide a population into smaller groups known as clusters - often used to study large populations

Answer 24

Cluster Sampling

Question 25

judgement or subjective sampling - convenient and economical but the inferences made based on the findings are not so reliable - not all members of the population have an equal chance of participating in the study - most useful for exploratory studies like a pilot survey

Answer 25

Non-probability Sampling

Question 26

use a device in obtaining the information from the respondents which favors the researcher but can cause bias to the respondents

Answer 26

Convenience Sampling

Question 27

selection is predetermined according to the characteristic of interest made by the researcher

Answer 27

Purposive Sampling

Question 28

major characteristics of the population by sampling a proportional amount of each is represented

Answer 28

Proportional

Question 29

bit less restrictive - process of selecting equal sized samples from subgroups if subgroup comparisons are required

Answer 29

Non-proportional

Question 30

series of tests conducted in a systematic manner to increase the understanding of an existing process

Answer 30

Experiment

Question 31

tool to develop an experimentation strategy that maximizes learning using minimum resources - widely and extensively used by engineers and scientists in improving existing process through maximizing the yield and decreasing the variability - technique needed to identify the “vital few” factors in the most efficient manner
