Sample Flashcards
Sampling
Sample, is a small portion of the population. It is reliable and valid method for drawing conclusions about the whole population
Stratified Random Sampling
Method where the population is divided into smaller groups (strata) based on shared traits, and a random sample is taken from each group to ensure all groups are fairly represented.
Systematic Random Sampling
A method where the population is numbered, and every nth person (based on a fixed interval) is chosen for the sample, ensuring an evenly spaced selection.
Cluster Random Sampling
Population is divided into groups (clusters) that each represent the whole population. Then, a few clusters are randomly selected, and everyone in those clusters is included in the sample.
Cluster
Groups within a population that represent the diversity of the entire population, like mini versions of the whole.
