28
Q

what are the types of collecting data

A
  • non-probability sampling
  • probability sampling
29
Q

Sampling procedure that gives every element of the population a (known) nonzero chance of being
selected in the sample

A

PROBABILITY SAMPLING

30
Q

Sampling technique where the odds of any member being selected for a sample cannot be calculated

A

NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING

31
Q

types of probability sampling

33
Q

what is another word for subpopulation

A

strata

34
Q

it is when population of N units is divided into strata

A

stratified sampling

35
Q

method of sampling where a sample of distinct groups, or clusters, of elements is selected and then a census of every element in the clusters is taken

A

cluster sampling

36
Q

method of selecting a sample by taking every kth unit from an ordered population, the first unit being selected at random

A

systematic sampling

37
Q

it is divided into a hierarchy of sampling units corresponding to the different sampling stages

A

multi-stage sampling

38
Q

the units are drawn one by one in a sequence of without prior fixing of the total number of observations and the results of the drawing at any stage are used to decide whether to terminate sampling or not.

A

sequential sampling

39
Q

also known as judgment, selective, or subjective sampling

A

purposive sampling

40
Q

sets out to make a sample agree with the profile of the population based on some pre-selected characteristics

A

purposive sampling

41
Q

selects a specified number of sampling units possessing certain characteristics

A

quota sampling

43
Q

introduction of certain restrictions in order to limit researcher’s choice of samples

A

controlled quota sampling

44
Q

resembles convenience sampling

A

uncontrolled quota sampling

45
Q

researcher is free to choose sample group members according to his/her will

A

uncontrolled quota sampling

46
Q

one of the most common methods of sampling

A

convenience sampling

47
Q

also known as “accidental” or “haphazard” sampling
