Sampling Quiz - Practical Research 1

What is sampling in research?

• A method of collecting books for study

• A process of selecting respondents for research

• A way to analyze numerical data

• A strategy to write research conclusions

The larger group from which a sample is selected is called:

• Sampling frame

• Population

• Cluster

• Quota

Which sampling method gives all individuals in a population an equal chance of being selected?

• Convenience sampling

• Quota sampling

• Probability sampling

• Availability sampling

What type of probability sampling ensures every individual has an equal chance of being chosen?

• Systematic sampling

• Simple random sampling

• Stratified sampling

• Cluster sampling

In systematic sampling, how do you select participants?

• By selecting every nth person from a list

• By randomly picking names from a hat

• By grouping people into clusters

• By allowing volunteers to join

Which of the following is an example of non-probability sampling?

• Simple random sampling

• Stratified sampling

• Snowball sampling

• Cluster sampling

Which non-probability sampling method involves selecting respondents who are readily available?

• Systematic sampling

• Availability sampling

• Stratified sampling

• Cluster sampling

What is the main characteristic of quota sampling?

• Respondents volunteer to participate

• The researcher selects respondents based on a set of known characteristics

• Random selection is used

• The study group is divided into clusters

Snowball sampling is often used for studying:

• Large corporations
  

• Government officials
  

• Hard-to-reach populations

• Elementary school students

What is the main difference between probability and non-probability sampling?

• Probability sampling is based on chance, while non-probability sampling is not

• Non-probability sampling is more reliable

• Probability sampling is always cheaper

• Non-probability sampling has fewer errors
