How can you classify the 2 examples that you gave in part c?
Is it:
Simple random sample
Systematic random sample
Voluntary response sample
Convenience sample
Or Stratified random sample?
Thank you.
I would call the example I gave as a systematic random sample.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
To classify the examples given in part c, we need to understand the different types of sampling techniques. Here is a breakdown of each technique:
1. Simple Random Sample: In this method, each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. A random number generator is often used to choose the sample.
2. Systematic Random Sample: In this approach, the population is ordered, and every nth member is selected for the sample. For example, if we have a population of 100 and want a sample of 10, we would select every 10th person.
3. Voluntary Response Sample: This is a biased sampling method where participants choose to respond. It is often seen in surveys or polls where individuals self-select to participate. This technique can lead to skewed results due to self-selection bias.
4. Convenience Sample: This technique involves selecting participants based on convenience or availability. It is not necessarily representative of the entire population since it relies on easily accessible individuals.
5. Stratified Random Sample: In this method, the population is divided into subgroups or strata based on certain characteristics. Then, a simple random sample is drawn from each subgroup. This approach ensures representation from each subgroup.
To determine which classification fits the examples given in part c, we would need a description or context for each example. Based solely on the given options, we cannot definitively categorize the examples without more information.
