273). Use of the word “or” makes us wonder if Steinberg et al. knew how the sampling took place. They go on to state that statistics used to prove the hypothesis were taken from those participants who attended five or more classes. Comparing this sample to the population as a whole, is inappropriate since those who felt negative moods after exercise were not likely to attend an aerobics class five or more times. Also, participants were notified of this research. Ethically, this is better than…

Due to the change in data collection methodology from a mandatory census to a voluntary one, the non-response rate of the 2011 (NHS) census is significantly higher than those from the previous 2006 census (Statistics Canada, 2011). In addition to an overall lower response rate, certain population groups, such as the visible minority groups, are less likely to respond to the survey. As a result, since categorizing people by ethnicity and race can be instrumental for the state in keeping control…

meeting that customer satisfaction was a concern the employees were voicing. This discussion led to the potential of performing a survey throughout our ten locations, which serve over two-hundred customer per day. The quandary is how we build this sample.

However, there are two different survey methodologies used, which are population studies and sampling. Both…

Studies and information gathered from the population offers a valuable tool for a marketing manager to utilize when one is trying to increase wine sales in an operating establishment. Many studies exist, which concern factors shown to influence dining satisfaction such as the quality of food, the quality of the service, as well as the environment and ambiance.

a) Sample selection size varies for each experiment, depending on how large the whole group under investigation is or how much time it would take to sample a certain group (Rathburn, MacConnadchie, Zizler, Hill, & Moorman, 2012, p. 72) .

The phone survey method is one where the researcher calls individuals who comprise his or her sample and then has them answer the survey questions over the phone (Chamberlain, 2016). This has historically been a popular administration method, as it has several advantages, i.e., it is quick, cheap, and effective (Chamberlain, 2016). That being said, there are several disadvantages as well. For example, individuals have become less…

are respondents who are preferably the primary purchaser in their household and have some knowledge regarding EF products. The more accurately we are able to have our sample represent this population, the more accurate our final results will be. Since our main sampling method uses the convenience approach, the majority of our sample will be UFV students. Our working population, the UFV students, represent the multicultural aspect of our target population well. UFV has a variety of students from…

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…
