Q2: Sampling Procedure

Question 1

It is the totality of all the objects,
elements, persons, and characteristics
under consideration.

Answer 1

Population

Question 2

It possesses common
characteristics about which the
research aims to explore.

Answer 2

Population

Question 3

first step in determining the
sample size

Answer 3

identifying the population
of the topic of interest.

Question 4

actual
population

Answer 4

Target population

Question 5

portion of
the population in which the researcher
has reasonable access

Answer 5

Accessible population

Question 6

pertains to the systematic process of
selecting the group to be analyzed in
the research study

Answer 6

Sampling

Question 7

The goal is to get
information from a group that
represents the target population

Answer 7

Sampling

Question 8

representative subset of the
population

Answer 8

Sample

Question 9

This approach refers to the rule of the thumb for sample size. The early
established approach by Gay (1976) stated by Cristobal and Dela Cruz-Cristobal (2017, p
172),

Answer 9

Heuristics

Question 10

as cited by Barrot (2017, p 107), also suggested different
sample sizes for each quantitative research design.

Answer 10

Lunenberg and Irby (2008),

Question 11

Another approach is by reading similar or related literature and
studies to your current research study. Since you are done writing your review of related
literature and studies, you might want to recall how these studies determine sample size.
Using this approach increases the validity of your sampling procedure.

Answer 11

Literature review

Question 12

also being established for the computation of an acceptable
sample size.

Answer 12

Formulas

Question 13

Example of common formula

Answer 13

Slovin’s formula

Question 14

Probability of rejecting null hypothesis

Answer 14

Statistical power

Question 15

Level of difference between the experimental group and control grouop refers to _

Answer 15

Effect size

Question 16

Tells the relationship between independent and dependent variables

Answer 16

Statistical power

Question 17

Suggests the extent of the relationship between these two variables (IV DV)

Answer 17

Effect size

Question 18

It is a way of choosing individuals in which all members
of the accessible population are given an equal chance to be selected.

Answer 18

Simple Random Sampling.

Question 19

various
ways of obtaining samples through simple random sampling.

Answer 19

• fish bowl technique
• roulette wheel
• table of random numbers

Question 20

gives an equal chance to all members of the population to be chosen.
However, the population is first divided into strata or groups before selecting the
samples. The samples are chosen from these subgroups and not directly from the entire
population. This procedure is best used when the variables of the study are also grouped
into classes such as gender and grade level.

Answer 20

Stratified Random Sampling.

Question 21

This procedure is usually applied in large-scale studies,
geographical spread out of the population is a challenge, and gathering information will be
very time-consuming.

Answer 21

Cluster Sampling

Question 22

involves
grouping of the population according to subgroups or clusters. It is a method where multiple
clusters of people from the chosen population will be created by the researcher in order to
have homogenous characteristics.

Answer 22

Cluster Sampling

Question 23

This procedure is as simple as selecting samples every nth
(example every 2
nd
, 5
th
) of the chosen population until arriving at a desired total number of
sample size. Therefore the selection is based on a predetermined interval. Dividing the
population size by the sample size, the interval will be obtained.

Answer 23

Systematic sampling
