Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of sampling techniques?

  • To generalize about all possible cases or elements
  • To ensure collection of data from the entire population
  • To increase the amount of data needed to collect by considering only data from a sub-group
  • To reduce the amount of data needed to collect by considering only data from a sub-group (correct)
  • When can sample data be used to generalize about an entire population?

  • When the sample size is small and not diverse
  • When the sample is selected based on convenience
  • When the sample is selected randomly without considering representation
  • When the sample is selected carefully and represents the entire population (correct)
  • Why should one not assume that a census would necessarily provide more useful results than collecting data from a sample?

  • Because a census always provides biased results
  • Because a census is less time-consuming than collecting data from a sample
  • Because it is more cost-effective to collect data from a sample
  • Because a census may not accurately represent the entire population (correct)
  • In what scenario is it possible to collect data from an entire population?
