In each of the following examples, identify the sampling method being used.

A researcher is interested in maximum-security inmates. She groups maximum-security prisons by state, randomly selects 10 states, and, from those 10, selects three prisons. She includes all the inmates in those three prisons in her sample.

Describe how you would select people to take your survey in the following situations with the listed method (when provided):

Say you wanted to survey professors at KSU about their publication records. You want to be sure to include professors from each department, even the very small ones.

You want to select a sample of KSU students using simple random sampling, how would you do this?

Say you were interested in sampling students who deal drugs on campus. What sampling technique could you use to build this sample?

Ans:

In each of the following examples, identify the sampling method being used.

A researcher is interested in maximum-security inmates. She groups maximum-security prisons by state, randomly selects 10 states, and, from those 10, selects three prisons. She includes all the inmates in those three prisons in her sample.

Multi-stage cluster Sampling is being used. Here you can see that there are multiple steps used to narrow the sample. You see in the last step that ALL inmates within the prisons have been selected.

Describe how you would select people to take your survey in the following situations with the listed method (when provided):

Say you wanted to survey professors at KSU about their publication records. You want to be sure to include professors from each department, even the very small ones.

Stratified, Proportionate, or Quota sampling

You want to select a sample of KSU students using simple random sampling, how would you do this?

Would need a record of all student for it to be random.

Say you were interested in sampling students who deal drugs on campus. What sampling technique could you use to build this sample?

Snowball sampling
