Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of probability sampling?

  • To reduce cost and time consumed
  • To introduce bias into the study
  • To involve all members of the population
  • To select elements from the sampling frame (correct)
  • Which sampling method involves dividing the population into homogenous subgroups before selecting elements at random?

  • Quota Sampling (correct)
  • Accidental Sampling
  • Systematic Sampling
  • Simple Random Sampling
  • Why is it generally cheaper and more expeditious to involve only an adequate sampling of study subjects rather than all members of the target population?

  • It reduces bias in the study
  • It ensures complete representation of the entire population
  • It introduces spurious influence on research
  • It saves cost and time consumed (correct)
  • In which type of sampling are the most readily available or most convenient group of people or objects used as study respondents?
