SAMPLING
When I define the target population, my next step is to define the
___________population.
When I get the list of all possible individuals that could join my study, this list is referred
to as the ____________
Each ___________ on this list will be part of the ___________ from which I will run
statistical tests. Once I get the results, I hope that I can ____________ the findings to
the target population
If the sample parameter(s)/characteristic(s) is different than that of the population
parameter(s)/characteristic (s), I can say that there is ___________error.
When participants are randomly selected for a study, we could estimate that the sample
will be __________to the target population
A researcher selected 100 university students that were present at a university fair
applying for graduate school ________
Students at GBC were selected as they were leaving the library to fill out a survey. A
total of 100 students was needed _______
200 students were randomly selected to fill out a survey at a university in
Canada_________
Which probability sampling should be used ?
A researcher want to survey Canadian nurses and ask about their readiness to
practice with prescribing medication. How can such a broad group of people be
selected, and yet still represent well the target population?
A researcher knows that the voice of nurses between the age of 21-30 is not well
represented in nursing and there is a need to ensure that this cohort be
represented as well as other cohorts in this study. How best can sub groups be
well represented?
A researcher would like to randomly select individuals taking a specific class at a
University and further randomize them to two groups? What is the best
approach?
