Greetings Class,
For this discussion post, you will need to have read and reviewed chapter 5 of the textbook and then respond to the prompt. Remember, the learning objectives for the current chapter are as follows:
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Identify the circumstances that make sampling unnecessary and the reason they are rare.
Identify the relation between the desired sample, the obtained sample, the sampling frame, and sample quality.
Define and distinguish probability and nonprobability sampling and both techniques relationship to sample generalizability.
Define the major types of probability sampling, and indicate when each is preferred.
Explain when nonprobability sampling methods may be preferred.
Understand what units of analysis are and how errors can be made when generalizing from one unit of analysis to another.
PROMPT:
Tell the class what you have learned about sampling from the internet. Your task is to conduct a search on sampling and population and select a few of these sites. This means just start off googling the terms and then review about 3 or 4 of the pages presented. Discuss with the class what you learned overall about the two terms. Then, list a few new points that you learn about sampling and how the inclusion of cell phone users will steer future research findings.
For the response to another student, compare your definitions to those of another student. Be specific and provide details and examples of what is similar and what is not. Discuss those similarities and differences and if they helped you to better understand how sampling works.
