QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Sampling Methods.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe how systematic sampling is carried out.
Describe one advantage and one disadvantage of using systematic sampling.
Describe one situation where snowball sampling would be appropriate.
Explain the difference between a sample and a population in psychological research.
A researcher divides a population into males and females, then randomly selects equal numbers from each group. What sampling method is this? (1) Cluster sampling (2) Stratified sampling (3) Systematic sampling (4) Convenience sampling
A researcher selects every 5th person from a list of 500 students. What sampling method is being used? (1) Simple random sampling (2) Systematic sampling (3) Cluster sampling (4) Quota sampling
A researcher uses a list of all students in a school and randomly selects 50 students to participate in a survey. What type of sampling is this? (1) Cluster sampling (2) Simple random sampling (3) Quota sampling (4) Purposive sampling
A researcher wants to ensure that the sample includes 40% males and 60% females, just like the population. Which sampling method should be used? (1) Stratified sampling (2) Cluster sampling (3) Systematic sampling (4) Convenience sampling
