Section: ____________________________ Date: ______________

General Instruction: STRICTLY NO ERASURES

I True or False: Write the word True on the space provided if the statement is true. Write the word False if the
. statement is incorrect. Each correct answer receives 1 point. (10pts)
1. Simple Random Sampling is considered the most basic sampling technique. __________
2. Convenience Sampling is an example of a non – probability sampling. __________
3. In Simple Random Sampling, each element of the population is assigned a unique number, written on each
pieces of paper, folded then placed inside a box and is thoroughly mixed. __________
4. From a population of 1000, using margin of error = 5%, your sample would be 300. __________
5. In systematic sampling, the k is obtained by dividing the elements of the population by the elements of the
sample. __________
6. Cluster sampling is an example of a definite sampling technique in which the population is first divided into
groups and then samples are randomly selected separated from each stratum. __________
7. s2 is an example of a parameter. __________
8. The Slovin’s Formula is used is determine the needed size of a population. __________
9. Sampling distribution means the probability of a sample statistic. __________
10. If the given population size = 11(sample size 2 with replacement), the possible values are 22. __________

II. Multiple Choices: Encircle the letter of the best answer. Every correct answer receives 1 point. (10pts)
1. The method of sampling which divides the population into homogenous classes and randomly selects from
each class the same number of data items to form the sample is
a. Stratified Sampling c. Simple Random Sampling
b Systematic Sampling d Cluster Sampling
. .
2. What do you call the subset of the population from which the data about the population is gathered?
a. Parameter c. Sample

. .
3. The method of sampling where all elements of the population are given equal chances of being selected
included in the sample is
a. Stratified Sampling c. Probability Sampling
