Which sampling technique involves selecting a representative sample from the population by dividing the population into strata and then randomly selecting participants from each stratum?

  1. Simple random sampling

  2. Systematic sampling

  3. Stratified sampling

  4. Cluster sampling


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Stratified sampling is a probability sampling technique that involves dividing the population into strata based on a specific characteristic and then randomly selecting participants from each stratum.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their proximity to each other?

  1. Simple random sampling

  2. Systematic sampling

  3. Stratified sampling

  4. Cluster sampling


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of clusters from the population and then selecting all participants within each selected cluster.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their similarity to a known individual or group?

  1. Purposive sampling

  2. Quota sampling

  3. Convenience sampling

  4. Snowball sampling


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Purposive sampling is a non-probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants based on their specific characteristics or knowledge of the research topic.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their willingness to participate in the research study?

  1. Purposive sampling

  2. Quota sampling

  3. Convenience sampling

  4. Snowball sampling


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants who are easily accessible and willing to participate in the research study.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their social networks or connections?

  1. Purposive sampling

  2. Quota sampling

  3. Convenience sampling

  4. Snowball sampling


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Snowball sampling is a non-probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their social networks or connections.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their predetermined characteristics or quotas?

  1. Purposive sampling

  2. Quota sampling

  3. Convenience sampling

  4. Snowball sampling


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Quota sampling is a non-probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants based on their predetermined characteristics or quotas.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on a random starting point and then selecting every kth participant?

  1. Simple random sampling

  2. Systematic sampling

  3. Stratified sampling

  4. Cluster sampling


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Systematic sampling is a probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on a random starting point and then selecting every kth participant.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their availability and convenience?

  1. Purposive sampling

  2. Quota sampling

  3. Convenience sampling

  4. Snowball sampling


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their availability and convenience.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their probability of being selected?

  1. Simple random sampling

  2. Systematic sampling

  3. Stratified sampling

  4. Cluster sampling


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Simple random sampling is a probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their probability of being selected.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their representation of different subgroups within the population?

  1. Purposive sampling

  2. Quota sampling

  3. Convenience sampling

  4. Stratified sampling


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Stratified sampling is a probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their representation of different subgroups within the population.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their geographic location?

  1. Purposive sampling

  2. Quota sampling

  3. Convenience sampling

  4. Cluster sampling


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of clusters from the population and then selecting all participants within each selected cluster.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their similarity to a known individual or group?

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Snowball sampling is a non-probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their social networks or connections.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on their predetermined characteristics or quotas?

  1. Purposive sampling

  2. Quota sampling

  3. Convenience sampling

  4. Snowball sampling


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Quota sampling is a non-probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants based on their predetermined characteristics or quotas.

Which sampling technique involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on a random starting point and then selecting every kth participant?

  1. Simple random sampling

  2. Systematic sampling

  3. Stratified sampling

  4. Cluster sampling


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Systematic sampling is a probability sampling technique that involves selecting a sample of participants from a population based on a random starting point and then selecting every kth participant.
