Simple random sampling is...

everyone has an equal chance of being selected as part of the sample

the average found by adding all numbers then dividing by number of values

Convenience sampling...

People or elements in a sample selected on the basis of their availability.

Purposive sampling...

Participants consciously chosen based on the research question's goals.

P value in quantitative statistics

stands for probability value. Shows likelyhood results are down to chance

Characteristics of quantitative research are...

Inductive data analysis, large sample, closed questions, reusability

is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest.

Using multiple data sets from different sources to confirm the result

numbers are assigned but have no real meaning eg. fat is ‘1’ thin is ‘2'

Snowball or referral sampling...

people in a sample are asked to invite those they know to take part

groups not individual units of the target population are selected at random

is the number that occurs most often in a data set

Ethical principles of research include

Minimize harms and risks respect human dignity, privacy, and autonomy

Scale or Interval data is...

numbers are in order and an equal distance apart, eg temperature

Systematic sampling....

only applies to first item chosen then every nth item after that is picked.

Characteristics of qualitative research are...

“Natural setting;” Multiple sources of data; Inductive and deductive data;

Define a hierarchy of evidence

ranking system classifying evidence according to liklihood of bias

Stratified sampling...

random selection within predefined groups

Understanding the subjective "what" and "how" experience of an individual
