Document Summary
It is more cost effective and less labour intensive in terms or resources and human input. It is never going to be exact to the population"s statistics. Estimation or prediction so there is a possibility of error. In qualitative studies, sampling of the population continues until you have exhausted all possible new information. This differs person to person due to a whole host of factors (time, expertise, cost, scope) so it"s a very subjective measure. It is the population we wish to study. Sample size is a statistical sample of the studied larger population. This is the method or process with wish you select members of the sampling frame to become part of the sample. All possible items/people that can be chosen from the population to be part of the sample. Statistics derived from the sample chosen from the larger population.
