Case Questions:
1. What sources of information should Klein and Berman use?
-Klein and Berman should use primary source of information because they needed personal experience and insights of their respondents, specifically students.
2. How should Klein and Berman gather data?
-Klein and Berman can gather data through informal interview with their clients if their client is compatible with Klein and Berman’s preferred source.
-They can also visit union cafeteria as what they’ve said and conduct stratified or clustered sampling.
3. What questions should they ask?
If a client:
-Are you a student of VU?
-Are you an undergraduate or a graduate student?
-Where do you usually make your copy?
-How many copies did you made for the past weeks or how many copies do you usually make for a month.
If grouped (union cafeteria, it is logical not to ask if they are students or not):
-Are you undergrad or grad students?
-Where do you usually make your copies?
-How many copies do you usually make for a month?
4. How should they sample?
-They must do Non-random sampling because they must target their qualified respondents, mentions as VU students.
-A non-random sampling technique called purposive where criteria are the basis to select their sample is the appropriate technique to be used in this sampling.
-However, in a grouped interview, a random sampling (because the entire possible sample in the area are students) called stratified sampling technique could be used. This will made the acquisition of data quicker and better.
