Q

Q

what are the 4 probability sampling methods?

A
  • simple random sampling
  • systematic sampling
  • stratified sampling
  • cluster sampling
22
Q

random sampling from mutually exclusive and exhaustive subgroups

A

stratified sampling

23
Q

what are the problems with stratified sampling?

A
  • information to stratify not readily available
  • proportional/disproportional sampling
24
Q

random selection from all elements in the population

A

simple random sampling

25
Q

what are the issues with simple random sampling

A
  • construction of a representative sampling frame
  • disproportionate subgroups
26
Q

every nth element (skip interval) from the list following a random starting point

A

systematic sampling

27
Q

what is the issue with systematic sampling?

A
  • covers the entire sample frame
  • possible bias from hidden patterns
28
Q

random selection of a mutually exclusive group or cluster of elements

A

cluster sampling

29
Q

what is the only method without names involved

A

cluster sampling

30
Q

selection of specific elements from the population in a non-random manor

A

non-probability sampling

31
Q

what are the 2 advantages to non-probability sampling?

A
  • cost
  • time
32
Q

what are the 2 disadvantages to non-probability sampling?

A
  • sampling error cannot be computed
  • the degree to which the sample is representative of the population is unknown
33
Q

what are the 4 types of non-probability sampling methods?

A

convenience sampling, judgement sampling, quota sampling, snowball sampling

34
Q

samples in which selection of additional respondents is based on referrals from the initial respondents

A

snowball sampling

35
Q

what are the issues with snowball sampling?

A

low-incidence or rare population, subject to the willingness of respondents to provide referrals

36
Q

samples in which quotas are established for mutually exclusive population subgroups

A

quota sampling

37
Q

what is the issue with quota sampling?

A

favors those most easily found

38
Q

sampling the people that are most available

A

convenience sampling

39
Q

what is the issue with convenience sampling?

A

potential for selection bias

40
Q

selection criteria based on judgement that the element is representative of the population under study

A

judgement sampling

41
Q

what is the issue with judgement sampling?

A

subject to the personal judgement of the researcher

42
Q

the formula for sample size for a proportion? when looking for how many people or need to be surveyed

A

n= (z^2(pq))/e^2

43
Q

for sample size for a proportion, what is n?

A

sample size

44
Q

for sample size for a proportion, what is z?

A

confidence level, always 1.96

45
Q

for sample size for a proportion, what is e?

A

maximum allowance for error

46
Q

for sample size for a proportion, what is pq?

A

estimated proportion with specified characteristic, always (0.5*0.5)

47
Q

what is the formula for adjusting based on sample size?

A

nā€™= nN/(N+n-1)

48
Q

what is nā€™ for population and sample size

A

revised sample size

49
Q

what is n for population and sample size

A

original sample size

50
Q

what is N for population and sample size

A

population size
