AM

Essay Directions: Answer the following questions.

Scenario: “Imagine if we wanted to find out Ice Cream flavor of all First Year students in

JRMSU Dapitan”.

1. Can we use the whole population? Explain.

Yes, we can definitely use the population, however we will take a broad parameter that

we might not be able to cope up with at the same time. By using the sample, it could give

us a reliable number of respondents to work on the research and will give us a quick

access to an urgent data.

2. Why do we use a sample?

We use a sample for practicality. Sample can be a representation of a whole population

and it could give the researchers an insights of the whole picture. By just taking a sample

it can be more manageable for the researchers since it is a much smaller group.

1. Convenience Sampling chooses units which come to hand or are convenient.

2. Census is the process of collecting data from every element of the population.

3. Sampling error attributed to the variation present among computed values of the statistic from

the different possible samples of n elements.

4. Quota sampling is a specific number of elements that are selected form different

subpopulations.

5. Non-sampling Error is attributable to other factors than sampling error.

6. Sample survey is the process of collecting data from a subset of the population.

7. Census is also called survey.

8. Purposive Sampling sets out to make the sample agree with the population in regard to

certain characteristics by purposively choosing clusters of elements that resemble the distribution

of the population based on available data.

9. Stratified Random sampling the population into strata so that ideally each stratum will

consist of more or less homogeneous units.

10. In simple random sampling, a chosen element is always replaced before the next selection

is made, so that an element may be chosen more than once.
