Exam 9: Sampling Methods and Sample Size

In using the "typical" sample size method of choosing a sample size, for every major subgroup the sample should have ____ or more respondents per subgroup.

The sample is selected by selecting a digit (n), and then selecting a sample element at every nth interval. This is an example of a

The size of the sample will be a function of the

Probability sampling procedures tend to be more objective and allow the use of statistical techniques.

Quota sampling is a nonprobability sampling technique, while stratified sampling is a probability technique.

Sampling error occurs when the sample does not perfectly represent the population under study.

A census means that all of the members of the selected universe are surveyed.

Probability sampling techniques include the convenience sample, judgment sample, and quota sample.

From a statistical point of view, probability sampling is preferred because it allows a calculation of the sampling error.

Nonprobability samples do not mean that the sample is always less representative than probability samples.

The sampling frame is the list of the members of the target population.

Discrepancies due to the incompleteness of sampling frames include all of the following except

The decision to employ a probability or nonprobability sampling procedure is determined in which step of the sampling decision model?

The standard error of the mean measures sampling errors that arise from estimating a population from a sample instead of including all of the essential information in the population.

The sampling frame is the list of the members of the sample.

If a researcher wants a 95% level of confidence, it would equate to a Z-Value of

The sample size for a probability sample depends on all of the following except

Time economy means that

The sampling frame can be the process used to select the sample.

Nonprobability sampling techniques involve the selection of sample elements by chance.
