Sample size

This will give the sampling method a larger pool to gather information to complete the research needed. What is the appropriate sampling size? The appropriate sampling size is achieved by many factors. These factors are the size of the study, population size, the purpose of the study, and the risk of selecting a wrong sample design. The size of the sample must be in a certain criteria such as precision level, confidence level, and the variability degree. In the case of sampling the attitudes…

History Sampling is regarded as one of the most necessary parts of auditing today, but as a matter of fact, it was not until 1997 that the “Audit Sampling” standard was issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). When auditing first came into fruition sampling was not given the same consideration that is has today, as company owners were “interested in discovering major accounts of fraud or misstatements in the financial statements” (Oana, Tatiana 2013, and…

insight on the ways in which sleep quality influences quality of life of undergraduate students at OU. Sample Frame, Population The sampling frame is undergraduate students enrolled at the University of Oklahoma. The list of components, from which the sample is designated, was formed through careful consideration…

How was the sample selected? Were demographics collected? to particular characteristics of a population. ... Examples of demographic characteristics include age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, income, education, home ownership, sexual orientation, marital status, family size, health and disability status, and psychiatric diagnosis. “Sample used was a convenience sample (N=84) of women from 2 area hospital systems and 1 cardiovascular clinic in central north Carolina.” “health care…

randomization number and the instructions. The computerized random sampling method is appropriate because of its ease to use and accuracy of representation. Additionally, it eliminates selection bias and balances groups being studied (Suresh, 2011). Does the sample reflect the population as identified in the problem or purpose statement? The population in this research is the non-diabetic pregnant women above 18 years of age from diverse cultural background with the risk of developing GDM…

Overall, I rate this article as a 4 out of 5. It is very well organized, presents samples and comparisons and is very well written. The only thing, I would change in this article would be the organization of the topics. For Example, The hypotheses, methods and procedures were placed at the end with the results. I believe the hypotheses, methods, and procedures would have been more effective placed at the beginning of the article before the presentation of the data that is broken up into sections…

North Andaman Islands (NAI) are one of the major island groups of Andaman and Nicobar archipelagos (Fig.1), consisting tropical rainforest encompassing varied species richness and diversity coupled with high endemism (Prasad et al..). As per Champion and Seth [year] the predominant forest types of the study area are Andaman Evergreen (EG), Andaman Semi-evergreen (SEG), Andaman Moist deciduous (MD), Littoral and Mangrove forests. Major part of the island is covered with SEG which is scattered at…

used the stratified random sampling method. The teacher sample was made up of 25% of the total number. The student sample was made up of 9% of the target population. The qualitative authors decided to use the criterion sampling strategy. The teachers that were selected had to meet the criterion of using MCDs or taught students that uses MCDs such as, cell phones, smart phones, or tablet computer for teaching or learning. The quantitative sample used stratified sampling which is a good way to…

unnecessary treatments (Binns and Nyrop, 1992). Entomologists/producers usually sample pest populations with the conventional approach in which sample sizes are fixed in advance. Instead of making scouting at one time in the conventional sampling plan, sampler can check the accumulated data whether or not a conclusion can be reached after each observation in sequential sampling which is a statistical procedure whose sample size is not fixed in advance. Sequential sampling can save time and costs…

As each research sought to advance our current knowledge, results will vary and may even rebut previous researches. Results may vary due to assorted differences between studies. For example, the research design, quantitative or qualitative, the sample size and selection, even the researcher’s preconceived opinion can play a role in the outcome of the research. Some researchers may show preference over particular variables which may sway results while conducting the research. Often times the…
