Research Methodologies and Sampling Techniques Quiz

Study Notes

Sampling Techniques

Identify various sampling techniques: stratified sampling, cluster sampling, random sampling, systematic sampling.
Recognize that one of the options presented does not qualify as a sampling technique.

Purpose of Sample Design

Sample design aims to create a strategy for selecting units from a population to obtain accurate and representative data.
Effective sample design helps minimize bias and ensures that findings can be generalized to the larger population.

Practical Use of Sampling

Sampling is used to reduce costs and time associated with data collection.
It allows researchers to gather insights without surveying an entire population, thus increasing efficiency in research processes.

Primary Source of Data

A primary source of data is information collected firsthand for a specific research purpose, often through interviews, surveys, or experiments.
This type of data is original and offers direct evidence pertinent to the research topic.

Purpose of Questionnaire in Sampling

A questionnaire serves as a tool to gather structured information from respondents during sampling.
It helps to capture data efficiently, facilitating analysis and interpretation of results while ensuring consistency in responses.
