- 1) A student working on her doctorate degree is completing a study on working conditions. Part of her data collection consists of interviewing employees at a local hospital. She is given a list of names for the employees of one of the departments, seen below.
- a. Describe a method, in detail, of how she could generate a sample of ten participants from this list of names. Support your description with appropriate information from Chapter 1.
- b. Generate a sample using your method described in part a. List your ten participants.
Here students want to generate a sample of 10 participants from the list of names.
the most convenient and simple method here to generate a sample is to use Simple Random Sampling.
Simple random sample results are unbiased and provide an equal probability of being selected for each and every data point.
we will use SRS without replacement because it is simple and convenient and gives more accurate results and do not returns selected items into population.
This method only requires the complete list of units of the survey population.
One of its disadvantages is that this technique requires a list of all units of the population. If such a list doesn’t provide and the target population is very large, it can be very expensive or unrealistic to create one.
