SIR ROWEE FINALS Flashcards

1
Q

is a study that obtains data from every member of a population. In
most studies, is not practical, because of the cost and/or time required.

Q

When the population is large, a sample survey has a big resource advantage
over a census.

Q

we do not know the
probability that each population element will be chosen, and/or we cannot be sure that
each population element has a non-zero chance of being chosen.

16
Q

is made up of people who are easy to
reach.

A

Convenience sample.

17
Q

the population is divided into groups, based on some characteristic.
Then, within each group, a probability sample (often a simple random sample) is selected.

A

a. Stratified sampling Method

18
Q

every member of the population is assigned to one, and only one, group.
Each group is called a cluster.

A

cluster sampling,

19
Q

we select a sample by using combinations of different sampling
methods.

A

Multistage Sampling

20
Q

we create a list of every member of the population.

A

systematic random sampling,

21
Q

a researcher manipulates one or more variables, while holding all other
variables constant.

A

experiment,

22
Q

(also called a factor) is an explanatory
variable manipulated by the experimenter.

A

Independent variable.

23
Q

refers to steps taken to reduce the effects of extraneous variables

24
Q

refers to the practice of using chance methods

A

Randomization.

25
refers to the practice of assigning each treatment to many experimental units.
Replication.
26
occurs when the experimental controls do not allow the experimenter to reasonably eliminate plausible alternative explanations for an observed relationship between independent and dependent variables.
