Exam 16: Sampling Designs and Sampling Procedures

Multistage area sampling is a cluster sampling approach involving multiple steps.

All of the following are stages in the selection of a sample EXCEPT:

Which of the following is a nonprobability sampling technique in which an experienced individual selects the sample based on his or her judgment about some appropriate characteristics required of the sample member?

Judgment sampling is a nonprobability sampling technique in which an experienced individual selects the sample based on his or her judgment about some appropriate characteristics required of the sample member.

In which type of sampling is a subsample drawn using simple random sampling within each stratum?

When a researcher has made the decision to conduct a survey using a sample of the population,the FIRST step in the selection of the sample is to:

A census is any complete group whose members share some common set of characteristics.

A stratified sample in which the number of sampling units drawn from each stratum is in proportion to the population size of that stratum is called a(n):

The individual element in the population (e.g.stores)in a cluster sample is the primary sampling unit (PSU).

An area sample is the most popular type of cluster sample.

Name and describe the types of nonprobability sampling.

Trickle-down sampling involves using probability methods for an initial selection of respondents and then obtaining additional respondents through information provided by the initial respondents.

The availability of sampling frames is fairly consistent around the world.

Which of the following probability sampling technique is low cost and frequently used?

Which of the following is an advantage of quota sampling over probability sampling?

List the stages in the selection of a sample.

When some elements of the target population are omitted from the sampling frame (e.g.their address is unknown),then ____________________ error occurs.

If a researcher wants to select 50 customers from a sampling frame of 250 customers who have purchased at least $10,000 worth of products from his company within the past six months using a systematic sampling technique,after a random start,the researcher should select every ____ name on the list.

The first stage in the selection of a sample is to determine the sampling frame.

The sampling frame is also called the "working population."
