Sampling Techniques

Question 1

Type of sampling method that involves random selection, allowing you to make strong statistical inferences about the whole group.

Answer 1

Probability sampling

Question 2

Type of sampling method that involves non-random selection based on convenience or other criteria, allowing you to easily collect data.

Answer 2

Non-probability sampling

Question 3

is a sampling technique, in which the subjects of the population get an equal opportunity to be selected as a representative sample.

Answer 3

Probability sampling

Question 4

is a method of sampling wherein, it is not known that which individual from the population will be selected as a sample

Answer 4

nonprobability sampling

Question 5

it is the entire group that you want to draw conclusions about.

Answer 5

population

Question 7

it is the specific group of individuals that you will collect data from

Answer 7

sample

Question 7

it is the actual list of individuals that the sample will be drawn from.

Answer 7

sampling frame

Question 7

the number of individuals you should include in your sample.

Answer 7

sample size

Question 7

a type of probability sample in which every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. sampling frame should include the whole population

Answer 7

simple random sampling

Question 8

a type of probability sample that is similar to simple random sampling, but it is usually slighter easier to conduct. Every member of the population is listed with a number, but instead of randomly generating numbers, individuals are chosen at regular intervals.

Answer 8

Systematic sampling

Question 9

a type of probability that involves dividing the population into subpopulations that may differ in important ways. It allows you draw more precise conclusions by ensuring that every

Answer 9

stratified sampling

Question 10

a type of probability that involves dividing the population into subgroups, but each subgroup should have similar characteristics to the whole sample. Instead of sampling individuals from each subgroup, you randomly select entire subgroups.

Answer 10

Cluster sampling

Question 11

are often used in
exploratory and qualitative
research

Answer 11

Non-probability sampling techniques

Question 12

a type of nonprobability sampling method that simply includes the individuals who happen to be most accessible to the researcher.

Answer 12

Convenience sampling

Question 13

a type of nonprobability sampling method that is mainly based on ease of
access. Instead of the researcher choosing
participants and directly contacting them,
people volunteer themselves (e.g. by
responding to a public online survey).

Answer 13

voluntary response sampling

Question 14

a type of nonprobability sampling method that involves the researcher using their expertise to select a sample that is most useful to the purposes of the research

Answer 14

Purposive sampling

Question 15

Another name for purposive sampling

Answer 15

Judgement sampling

Question 16

A type of nonprobability sampling method that can be used to recruit participants via other participants. The number of people you have access to “snowballs” as you get in contact with more people.

Answer 16

Snowball sampling

Question 17

A type of nonprobability sampling method that relies on the non-random
selection of a predetermined number or proportion of units.

Answer 17

Quota sampling
