Q

What is a census? AD/DIS

A

Observe and measures every member of population
AD: gets accurate results
DIS : time consuming/expensive
Hard to process large amount of data

Q

What is a sample?AD/DIS?

A

Subset of population who is used to collect data from \
AD: quicker /cheaper than census
- less data to process

DIS : not as accurate
- not representative /introduce bias

17
Q

Sampling frame?

A

list of all members of the population

18
Q

AD/DIS simple random sampling?

A

AD: free of bias
Easy and cheap

DIS: not suitable for large sample size
Sampling frame needed

19
Q

AD/DIS systematic sampling?

A

AD: Simple and quick to use
- good for larger samples

DIS : sampling frame needed
- introduce bias

20
Q

AD/DIS stratified sampling?

A

AD: reflects population structure
Guarantees proportional representation of groups within population

DIS : population need to be put into strata
- sampling within strata has same dis as simple random sampling (sampling frame needed)

21
Q

Quota sampling AD/DIS?

A

AD: no sampling frame needed
Quick ,easy, inexpensive
Allow small sample to represent population

DIS : non random sampling introduce bias
- pop must be divided into groups - costly/inaccurate

22
Q

Opportunity sampling AD/DIS?

A

AD: easy to carry out
Inexpensive

DIS : not representative
Dependent on researcher

23
Q

How to carry out systematic sampling?

A

Choose members of population at regular intervals
- to find size of interval :
Size of population (N) / size of sample (n)

  • choose starting point randomly and use regular interval from there
24
Q

How to carry out stratified sample?

A

Population divided into strata /random sample taken in each strata

No. Members sampled in strata : (size of sample (n) / size of population (N) ) x sample size

25
Q

How to carry out quota sampling?

A

Population split into groups /members selected until each quota is filled
- size of group proportional to amount of ppl in pop that should have characteristic
