Stratified sampling

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…

survey (sample u need), how many and how they should be chosen. 1. Probability Samples 2. NON probability samples Probability sampling :> with the probability sampling each member of the population has some know chance being included chances is representative of the population .The most basic probability sample is simple random sample. Some time researcher use a systematic sampling to select number of population in which they select the “9th” number of…

Exercise 1: Sampling This group of vehicles I chose to sample was selected on September 21st, 2016. The parking lot these cars were chosen is located in Mansfield, Ohio, on Main Street, across from the Carousel, at 4:30pm. Vehicle Type Maker Age Color State Parking Spot # Sedan Honda 4-7 Green Ohio 32 Sedan Hyundai 0-3 Blue Ohio 56 Pick-up Chevy 0-3 Red Ohio 14 Coup Mini-Cooper 4-7 Green Ohio 9 SUV Ford 8+ Brown New York 61 SUV Toyota 0-3 Black Ohio 28 Sedan Dodge 4-7 Red Ohio 41 Sedan Ford…

Yes/No); nominal (gender, race); ordinal (age group) and quantitative-discrete (number of medication errors) or continuous (amount of time-time to balloon, ED waiting time). Measure phase might make a use sampling for data collection (simple random sampling, cluster sampling, stratified sampling). Sigma Six uses following formula to decide on the sample size (n) for continuous data: n= (1.96ϭ/∆) ^2, and n= (1.96ϭ/∆) ^2*P (1-P) for discrete data. Where P is the estimated percentage of the…

Data Collection and Instrumentation The purpose of this study is to examine the implicit biases of police officers to better understand factors which may contribute to certain adverse behavior during encounters with black males while on duty. Therefore, participants for the research consist of police officers from the Capital Police Department (CPD). The stakeholders are the seven-hundred police officers who are employed by the Capitol Police Department. However, the surveys, interviews, and…

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…

will be reduced. The population for research will be the entire United States. Stratified sampling will be used due to the large population by using the census bureau which breaks the population into different regions. Information will be collected from databases and agencies on how many accidental shootings occur each year as well as how many locations offer gun safety training for children. Proportional stratified sampling will also be used. Per O’Sullivan, et al. (2011, p. 95), “the sample…

The research question is the most important component of any research project, the research should aim to answer the main question throughout each section; for example, the literature review must be directly linked to the question (Finch and Fafinski, 2012). Additionally, a strong question will set the precedent for deciding which research design and methods to utilise in order to answer the question effectively (Finch and Fafinski, 2012). This research project wants to investigate if there…

representative is to use a random selection procedure. You can also use a stratified random sampling procedure, to make sure that you have proportional representation of population subgroups” (Hopkins, 2000). The flowing is the type that I will fit my research…

regardless of age. The data can then be used to generate statistical information and correlated to find patterns of differences and/or similarities. Sampling Techniques A random sampling technique of proportional stratified sampling will be used, where the population will be divided into one of the four generational age groups, and systematic sampling. Any group that contains over 1000 members, 10% will be used for the sample, for example, if the 35-49 age group has a total membership of…
