Question 1

The book crossed the time orientation criterion with the sample relationship criterion in mixed research. How many mixed sampling designs results?

Accepted Answer

In mixed research, crossing the time orientation criterion (sequential or concurrent) with the sample relationship criterion (identical, parallel, nested, or multilevel) results in 2 (time orientations) x 4 (sample relationships) = 8 mixed sampling designs.

Question 2

In comparison to national statistics, the sample in a researcher's study was composed of twice as many Hispanic students as in the population. This sample is considered to be a:

Accepted Answer

The sample is biased because it does not accurately reflect the population's demographics, having an overrepresentation of Hispanic students compared to national statistics.

Question 3

If you wanted an equal number of African-Americans, European Americans, and Hispanics, which sampling method would be superior?

Accepted Answer

Disproportional stratified sampling allows for the selection of equal numbers from different strata, ensuring equal representation of African-Americans, European Americans, and Hispanics.

Question 4

The population size divided by the desired sample size is known as the:

Accepted Answer

The sampling interval is calculated by dividing the population size by the desired sample size, which helps in systematic sampling to determine how frequently to select elements from the population list.

Question 5

Dr. Berry wanted to draw a sample of 20 students from the 200 graduate students in education at his university. He developed a list of the graduate students who were education majors and beginning at the sixth student on the list he selects every tenth student from the list to be in the sample. Dr. Berry has created a:

Accepted Answer

Dr. Berry used a systematic sampling method by selecting every tenth student from a list, starting at a specific point.

Question 6

In which type of mixed research sampling is this true: "quantitative and qualitative data are collected one after the other on different participants who are selected to represent the same population under investigation".

Accepted Answer

In parallel sequential sampling, quantitative and qualitative data are collected sequentially (one after the other) from different participants representing the same population.

Question 7

The purpose of _____ is to generate a set of groups that are similar on all possible factors at the beginning of an experiment.

Accepted Answer

Random assignment is the process of assigning subjects to different groups in a way that ensures that each group is similar on all possible factors at the beginning of an experiment. This helps to ensure that any differences between the groups at the end of the experiment are due to the independent variable, not to pre-existing differences between the groups.

Question 8

An example of an element is a:

Accepted Answer

An element in research refers to an individual unit or participant within a sample.

Question 9

Determining the sample interval (represented by k), randomly selecting a number between 1 and k, and then including every k^th element in your sample are the steps for which type of sampling?

Accepted Answer

Systematic sampling involves selecting a sample from a larger population by choosing a random starting point and then selecting every k^th element, where k is the sample interval.

Question 10

Which type of stratified sampling is an equal probability of selection method?

Accepted Answer

Proportional stratified sampling is an equal probability of selection method because each stratum is sampled in proportion to its size in the population.

Question 11

Which of the following is a type of mixed research sampling?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is a type...

Question 12

A _____ is a subset of a population.

Accepted Answer

A sample is a subset of a population, used to represent the population in statistical analysis.

Question 13

Luke was looking at his sampling frame. He noticed that every 8^th element in the sampling frame was in a particular income group. This finding is evidence of:

Accepted Answer

Periodicity refers to a pattern that repeats at regular intervals, such as every 8th element in this case.

Question 14

A type of sampling in which the researcher determines the appropriate sample sizes for the groups identified as important and takes convenience samples from those groups.

Accepted Answer

Quota sampling involves the researcher determining the appropriate sample sizes for specific groups and then taking convenience samples from those groups.

Question 15

A principal was interested in how the paraeducators in her school thought the school year had gone. As a result, he interviewed all of them to find out their perceptions. She used

Accepted Answer

The principal interviewed all paraeducators, which indicates a comprehensive sampling approach, as it involves collecting data from the entire population of interest.

Question 16

In what type of sampling does the researcher divide the population into mutually exclusive groups and then select a random sample of individuals from each group?

Accepted Answer

In stratified sampling, the population is divided into mutually exclusive groups (strata) and a random sample is taken from each group.

Question 17

Extreme-case sampling and maximum variation sampling are more likely to be used in what kind of research?

Accepted Answer

Extreme-case sampling and maximum variation sampling are qualitative research methods that are used to gain a deep understanding of a phenomenon by studying a small number of cases that are particularly informative or representative of the population.

Question 18

A research team is conducting a national study of the percentage of household income that is spent on health care. Using national data, they divide the population based on household income data. In this example, household income is a:

Accepted Answer

Household income is used to divide the population into different strata for analysis, making it a stratification variable.

Question 19

Which of the following is an equal probability of selection method of sampling?

Accepted Answer

Cluster sampling is a probability sampling method where each cluster has an equal chance of being selected, ensuring equal probability of selection.

Question 20

Which of the following is NOT an equal probability of selection method of sampling:

Accepted Answer

Convenience sampling is not an equal probability of selection method because it involves selecting samples based on ease of access rather than random selection.
