Direction: Identify the terms being described.

_______________ 26. refers to the entire group that is under study or investigation.
_______________ 27. It is a subset taken from a population, either by random or non-random
sampling technique. A sample is a representation of the population where one hopes to draw valid
conclusions from about population.
_______________ 28. This is a selection of n elements derived from a population N, which is the
subject of the investigation or experiment, where each sample point has an equal chance of being
selected using the appropriate sampling technique.
_______________ 29. A sampling technique where every member of the population has an equal
chance of being selected.
_______________ 30. It refers to a sampling technique in which members of the population are listed
and samples are selected in intervals called sample intervals.
_______________ 31. The teacher writes all the names of students in a piece of paper and puts it in
a box for the graded recitation.
_______________ 32. The teacher gets the class record and call every 4th name in the list.
_______________ 33. Every five files out of 500 files will be chosen.
_______________ 34. There are 20 toddlers, 40 teenagers, 45 middle aged and 55 senior citizens in
a certain area. Samples are taken according to the total number of people in the area.
_______________ 35. All the names of the employees of the company are put in a raffle box.
