Return to calendar/assignments What method is used to sample a population so that it is representative of the population Mcq?Random Sampling: In the random sampling method each individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected in the sample.
How do you test if a sample is representative of the population?In order to be a representative sample, the sample group must represent the population as a whole. For instance, if the researcher's population of interest has 60% of people ages 18-25 and 40% of people ages 26-40, then the representative sample must also reflect this ratio.
What sampling methods are representative?Representative samples are one type of sampling method. This method uses stratified random sampling to help identify its components. Other methods can include random sampling and systematic sampling.
What sampling method is used for population?Systematic sampling: Researchers use the systematic sampling method to choose the sample members of a population at regular intervals. It requires the selection of a starting point for the sample and sample size that can be repeated at regular intervals.
