Answer 14

Power Analysis

Question 15

Answer 15

Statistical Power

Question 16

The level of difference between the experimental group and the control group refers to

Answer 16

Effect Size

Question 17

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

There are various ways of obtaining samples through ______ ______ ________

These are fishbowl technique, roulette wheel, or use of the table of random numbers.

Answer 17

Simple Random Sampling

Question 18

The same with simple random sampling, ________ ______ ___________ also 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 18

Stratified Random Sampling

Question 19

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. Similar to stratified random sampling, _______ ________ also 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 19

Cluster Sampling

Question 20

This procedure is as simple as selecting samples every nth (example every 2nd, 5th) 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.

For example, from a total population of 75, you have 25 samples; using systematic sampling, you will decide to select every 3rd person on the list of individuals.

Answer 20

Systematic Sampling
