86
Q

are design of inquiry in many fields that develops in-depth investigation, for analysis
and understanding of a single entity or social unit - the individual family, group, institution, organization or community- in which the core

A

Smaller sample

97
Q

A

larger sample

98
Q

Each of the units in

SAMPLING

104
Q

– can be done
through the lottery method or table of random numbers. (Fishing technique)

105
Q

– uses the sampling
interval formula. Sampling interval = total
population/ desired sample size. (Ex: even
or odd numbers)

– used to ensure that
different groups of the population are adequately included in the sample. (Ex: 1st
year = 30 students, 2nd year = 30, 3rdyr = 30…)

surveys; sampling larger groupings then smaller groupings

the sample is accomplished in more than 2 steps
