Question
Answer
show The larger group to which results are generalizedDefined aggregate of persons, objects, or eventsCharacterized and meet a specified set of cri  
🗑
Sample:   show
🗑
Sampling bias:   show
🗑
show The overall group to which generalizations will be made  
🗑
Accessible or Experimental population:   show
🗑
DEFINING THE POPULATION-Inclusion criteria:   show
🗑
show actors that preclude someone from being a participantFactors that are generally confounding factorsFactors may interfere with interpretation of results  
🗑
Probability sampling:   show
🗑
show Gives the greatest possible confidence in the sample’s validityThis is because it has the greatest likelihood of accurately reflecting the population’s characteristics  
🗑
show Sample chosen some way other than randomlyAll elements do not have equal chance of selectionCannot assume sample represents the target population  
🗑
PROBABILITY SAMPLING, name the different types   show
🗑
show Unbiased because each selection is independentThe sample is selected from the accessible populationUse random numbers table or computer for selection process  
🗑
show Divides total number of elements by the number of elements to be selectedThis is the sampling intervalStarting point is determined randomly  
🗑
show The researcher first identifies the population characteristicsThen partitions members of population into homogeneous nonoverlapping subsets of strata based on these characteristics  
🗑
PROPORTIONAL STRATIFIED SAMPLING   show
🗑
Which type of Probability sampling Can provide a morre representative sample?   show
🗑
show Random samples of adequate size from each category are selectedProportional weights are calculatedProbability of selection is determinedInverse of this probability is takenEach score is multiplied by this number  
🗑
show Group scores will be appropriately weightedGroups means won’t be affected but the relative contribution of these scores to the overall data interpretation will be controlled  
🗑
CLUSTER SAMPLING   show
🗑
Which type of Probability Sampliing has an area probablilty sampling (geographical), and random-digital dialing (multistage samplin of area codes and telephone exchanges)   show
🗑
show Convenience samplingConsecutive samplingQuota samplingPurposive samplingSnowball sampling  
🗑
CONVIENENCE SAMPLING   show
🗑
CONSECUTIVE SAMPLING   show
🗑
show Stratification is usedControls for potential confounding effect of known characteristicsGuided process to assure adequate # of participants obtained from each stratum  
🗑
PURPOSIVE SAMPLING   show
🗑
SNOWBALL SAMPLING   show
🗑
RECRUITMENT   show
🗑
show The size of the sample is important for POWER of the studyPower is the ability to find significant differences when they existThe larger the sample the greater the power to detect differences  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
