simple random sample

Randomly survey students walking on campus or shopping mall.

Take the next 20 objects off the production line.

convenience sampling

Choose a starting point randomly and then systematically take o
bjects at a certain
number apart.

systematic sampling

Divide the population into mutually exclusive and collectively
exhaustive groups,
called
strata
.
Randomly select observations from each stratum, which are
proportional to the stratum's size.

stratified sampling

Divide the population into mutually exclusive and
collectively exhaustive
groups
, called
clusters
.

Randomly select clusters.

Sample every observation in those randomly selected clusters.

What is a stratified random sample quizlet?

Stratified Sampling. A method of probability sampling (where all members of the population have an equal chance of being included) Population is divided into 'strata' (sub populations) and random samples are drawn from each. This increases representativeness as a proportion of each population is represented.

When should the method of stratified random sampling be used quizlet?

Stratified sampling is useful when the strata differ from one another, but the individuals within a stratum tend to be alike. In cluster sampling, items are drawn from the population in groups, or clusters.

What sampling is like stratified sampling?

Stratified Sampling and Cluster Sampling are both a part of probability sampling in statistical analysis. Probability Sampling is a procedure of selecting samples from a broad population for any kind of market research study.

Which sampling method samples are selected at random?

Probability sampling refers to the selection of a sample from a population, when this selection is based on the principle of randomization, that is, random selection or chance.
