method used in this study is the simple random sampling. The random sampling method is a sampling procedure that ensures each element in the population will have an equal chance of being included (Zikmund, Babin, Carr, & Griffin, 2013, p. 396). Random sampling is a beneficial method to use as this method is extremely uncomplicated and straightforward to compile the sample. In addition, other advantages to this type of sampling method include the fact that random sampling provides an unbiased…
to explore the process of simple analysis techniques and representative sampling in determining soil nutrient levels. Soil samples collected from Flinders Campus were used to determine their pH, salinity, ammonium, nitrate, phosphate, and nitrite levels. Introduction Unless there is a specific problem detected, the most common reason for undertaking soil analysis is to detect the levels of essential nutrients (Guo, 2009). The commonly analysed nutrients in most samples submitted to the…
Chapter 1: Using key words from Chapter discuss whether the article is valid or credible. Why or why not? The article is both valid and credible as the author uses historical statistical information to identify prevalence within the target population, although it is not stated where the statistical information was derived from. Although this information is vulnerable to falsifiability it does not appear that this has occurred. The validity of the information provided in the article is further…
Sample The population of interest for this study were employed women (ranging in ages from 18-45) living in the United States. A list of employees from four different types of occupations were used as a sampling frame to form a population to sample from. Employment records from traditionally male-dominated workplaces: Engineering and police work as well as from female-dominated workplaces: nursing and reception work (INSERT CITATION FROM WEBSITE). By using this sampling frame, it should…
Social Work Burnout and Its Effects on the Social Worker Name Institutional Affiliation Social Work Burnout and Its Effects on the Social Worker Introduction Social work burnout is has effects on the productivity of the worker; however, it is important to understand if and how the burnout affects a social worker. In the pursuit to understand the reality, there must be logical and empirical support (Babbie 2010, pg, 4). Like in epistemology, a science of knowing, which may rely on…
information is taken from cautiously drawn samples within a smaller group, another fundament of sampling is receiving results that are more accurate than they would be from a larger group (Monette, Sullivan, & DeJong, 2011, p.135). Two methods used in research are probability and nonprobability sampling. Probability sampling such as simple random sampling (SRS), guarantees that all scientific components have an equal chance of being included in the sample (Monette et al., 2011, p.139).…
This study investigates the relationship between aerobic exercise and societal influences, specifically subjective norms. For this study, we surveyed a sample of undergraduate students from a Psychology Research Methods course at University of Colorado at Boulder. The online survey taken by the students inquired about the frequency (in minutes per week) of aerobic exercise and social influences potentially related to aerobic exercise. We hypothesized that perceived social pressure from family,…
which are in disadvantaged environments, according to the United States Census. Probability sampling will be used so that it can be known in advance how likely it is that certain element of the population will be selected for the sample. Along with that, stratified random…

types listed below : Simple Sampling: It uses a random selection of sample from the population. For example, if we want to select 20 random employees as the sample from the IT department University XYZ: we should use a random-number generator to generate 20 numbers between 1 and 40 and select 20 staffs who belong to these numbers. Systematic (Interval) Sampling: It uses a systematic approach to select the sample from the population. Systematic sampling is similar with random sampling if the…
