is the entire group that you want to draw conclusion about

is the specific group of individuals that you will collect data from

sampling involves random selection, allowing you to make strong statistical inferences abou5 the whole group

involves non random selection based on convenience or other critera , allowing you to easily collect data

every member of the population has a chance of being selected . it is mainly use in __ if you want to produce results that are representative of the whole poplulation _______is the most valid choice _______

Types of Probability sampling

every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected . Your sampling frame should include the whole population.

similar to ____ , but it is usually slightly easier to conduct . Every member of the population is listed with a number , but imstead of randomly generating numbers , individuals. are chosen at imtervals.

involves dividing the population into subpopulations that may differ in important ways. It allows you draw more precise conclusions by ensuring that every subgroup is properly represented in the sample .

also involves dividing the population into subgroups , but each subgroup should have similar characteristics to the whole sample .

individuals are selected based on non random criteria , and not individuals has a chance of being included this type of sample is easier and cheaper to access , but it has a higher risk of sampling bias

types of non probabilty sampling

simply includes the individuals who happen to be most accessible to the researcher. this is an easy and expensive way to gather intial data . risk for selection bias

similar to ____ , a voluntary response sample is mainly based on ease of access. Instead of the researcher choosing participants and directly contacting them, people volunteer themselves .

also known as judegement sampling, involves the researcher using their expertise to select sample that is most iseful to the purposes of the research.

if the population is hard to access ____ can be used to recruit participant via other participants.

relies on the non random selection of predeterminde number or proportion of units . you first divide the population into mutually exclusive subgroups (called___)

a systematic and structured approach that imvolves the collection , analysis , and interpretation of data or information to answer a specific research question or solve a particular problem.
