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

A

strata

34
Q

it is when population of N units is divided into strata

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.

Q

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

purposive sampling

41

selects a specified number of sampling units possessing certain characteristics
