SOCI 217 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Simple Random Sample, Nonprobability Sampling, Quota Sampling
Document Summary
Which type of sampling chooses every kth element in a list: simple random sampling, systematic sampling, disproportionate sampling, cluster sampling. You are doing research on hospital personnel - orderlies, technicians, nurses & doctors. You want to be sure you draw a sample that has cases in each of the personnel categories. What would be an appropriate strategy for conducting research: simple random sampling, quota sampling (non-probability sampling, cluster sampling, stratified sampling. In a ubc lecture of 500 students, 140 were from alberta, 300 are from bc & 60 are from. From a sample of 100 students in a lecture, the researcher drew 15. The weight that should be to saskatchewan is: 0. 8. Group must be under 1 as saskatchewan students is over-sampled. What is an experiment: any mode of observation that allows us to visually/make causal explanation. Topics of appropriate to experiments: when it"s limited & well-defined, specific --> experiment, hypothesis to test --> experiment, useful for small studies.
