You want to select a sample from employees of a social media marketing company. You assign a number to every employee in the company database from 1 to 1000, and use a random number generator to select 100 numbers. What sampling are you going to use?

• Systematic Sampling

• Simple Random Sampling

• Cluster Sampling

• Convenience Sampling

This type of sampling is also known as judgement sampling, involves the researcher using their expertise to select a sample that is most useful to the purposes of the research.

• Systematic Sampling

• Cluster Sampling

• Snowball Sampling

• Purposive Sampling

You are researching experiences of homelessness in your city. Since there is no list of all homeless people in the city, probability sampling isn’t possible. You meet one person who agrees to participate in the research, and she puts you in contact with other homeless people that she knows in the area. What sampling are you going to use?

• Cluster Sampling

• Convenience Sampling

• Snowball Sampling

• Simple Random Sampling

This section in Chapter III should include the instruments you plan on using to measure the variables in the research questions.

• Sample and Population

• Instrumentation

• Statistical Treatment

• Data Gathering Procedure

Refers to the application of statistical methods and techniques to analyze and interpret the collected data in a systematic and meaningful way. This process is essential for drawing valid and reliable conclusions from research studies. Statistical treatment of data involves organizing, summarizing, analyzing, and interpreting numerical information to identify patterns, trends, relationships, and associations within the data.

• Statistical Treatment of Data

• Research Design

• Sampling

• Instrumentation

Type of sampling where the selection of participants is based on availability, convenience, or it just represents some characteristic the investigator wants to study.

• Probability Sampling

• Non-probability Sampling

It is a subgroup of the target respondents that the researcher plans to study for the purpose of making generalizations about the target respondents.

• Population

• Sample

Type of sampling where the selection of individuals is from the population so that they are representative of the population.

• Probability Sampling

• Non-probability sampling

You are researching opinions about student support services in your university, so after each of your classes, you ask your fellow students to complete a survey on the topic. What sampling did you use?

• Convenience Sampling

• Purposive sampling

• Snowball sampling

• Cluster sampling
