JUNE 19 – QUESTION 1

a)Population: All students enrolled in Medical College X.

- Represent the entire group of interest, in this case all the student at medical college X

b) Sampling frame: Students from the 10 selected classes in Medical College X.

- The list from which the sample will be drawn, it’s the list of all classes in the college.

c) Variable of interest: Satisfaction towards services provided by Academic Affairs. Type:

Ordinal. Level of measurement: Categorical.

- The variable is categorical because it represents different categories of satisfaction. It's

ordinal because there is an inherent order to the responses (e.g., strongly disagree < disagree
< neutral < agree < strongly agree).

d) Sampling technique: Cluster sampling, as classes are chosen as clusters, and all students
within those clusters are included in the study.

- dividing the population into smaller groups (clusters) and then randomly selecting entire
clusters to be included in the sample. In this study, the researcher selects 10 out of 50 classes,
indicating a cluster sampling approach where classes (clusters) are selected rather than
individual students. This method can be more practical and efficient when it's difficult or
impractical to sample individuals directly from the population.
JULY 17 – QUESTION 1

a) Population: All surgical gloves produced per shift (2000 pieces).

Sample: 200 surgical gloves selected from the population.

b) Variable of interest:

- Variable: Number of defective surgical gloves produced per shift.

- Type: This is a quantitative variable.

- Level of measurement: The variable is measured on a discrete scale since it represents

counts of defective gloves.

c) Sampling method: Systematic sampling.

- Reason: The sampling method used is systematic because every 10th glove was selected
from the production line. This method ensures a representative sample while being simpler to
implement compared to random sampling.
