Question

Tell whether the following statement is true or false:
The aggregate of

cases in which a researcher is interested is called a sample.
Слайд 3

Answer False The aggregate of cases in which a researcher is

Answer

False
The aggregate of cases in which a researcher is interested is

called a population. A sample is selection of a portion of the population to represent the entire population.

Question

Tell whether the following statement is true or false:
Researchers usually sample

from the target population.

Answer False Researchers usually sample from the accessible population but should

Answer

False
Researchers usually sample from the accessible population but should identify the

target population to which they want to generalize their results.

Representative sample
A sample whose key characteristics

closely approximate those of the population
Sampling bias
The systematic over- or underrepresentation of segments of the population on key variables
