Sampling Techniques Quiz

What is a population?

• A complete set of people or elements

• A portion or part of a population

• A random selection of people

• A group of animals

What is sampling?

• A technique of selecting individual members of a population

• A method of counting the entire population

• A way to estimate characteristics of the whole population

• A way to exclude certain members of a population

What is probability sampling?

• A sampling technique where the researcher selects based on specific criteria

• A sampling technique where the researcher excludes certain members

• A sampling technique where all members have an equal opportunity to be part of the sample

• A sampling technique where the researcher chooses members randomly

What is non-probability sampling?

• A sampling technique where the researcher excludes certain members

• A sampling technique where the researcher selects based on specific criteria

• A sampling technique where all members have an equal opportunity to be part of the sample

• A sampling technique where the researcher chooses members randomly

What is systematic sampling?

• A method where the researcher divides the population into smaller groups

• A method where the sample members are chosen at regular intervals

• A method where the researcher selects based on specific criteria

• A method where the entire population is divided into clusters

What is cluster sampling?

• A method where the entire population is divided into clusters

• A method where the researcher selects based on specific criteria

• A method where the researcher divides the population into smaller groups

• A method where the sample members are chosen at regular intervals

What is stratified random sampling?

• A method where the entire population is divided into clusters

• A method where the researcher selects based on specific criteria

• A method where the population is divided into smaller groups that don’t overlap

• A method where the sample members are chosen at regular intervals

What is convenience sampling?

• A method where the sample members are chosen at regular intervals

• A method where the researcher selects based on specific criteria

• A method where the population is divided into smaller groups that don’t overlap

• A method used when there are time and cost limitations in collecting feedback

What is snowball sampling?

• A method where the population is divided into smaller groups that don’t overlap

• A method used when the subjects are difficult to trace

• A method where the sample members are chosen at regular intervals

• A method where the researcher selects based on specific criteria

When is convenience sampling used?

• When there are time and cost limitations in collecting feedback

• When the subjects are difficult to trace

• When the researcher selects based on specific criteria

• When the population is divided into smaller groups that don’t overlap
