Sampling and Data Collection in Research Jaleesa Brown BSHS/435 08/25/2015 Dr. Annette Love Sampling and Data Collection in Research Sampling is one of many ways to conduct research in human service. It consist of one or more elements selected from a population. The manner in which we select elements for the sample has enormous implications for the scientific utility of the research based on that sample (Monette‚ Sullivan‚ & DeJong‚ 2011). In order to select a good sample‚ you must first decide

Types of Sampling In applications: Probability Sampling: Simple Random Sampling‚ Stratified Random Sampling‚ Multi-Stage Sampling * What is each and how is it done? * How do we decide which to use? * How do we analyze the results differently depending on the type of sampling? Non-probability Sampling: Why don’t we use non-probability sampling schemes? Two reasons: * We can’t use the mathematics of probability to analyze the results. * In general‚ we can’t count on a non-probability

Geske University of Phoenix Sampling and Data Collection in Research Sampling and Data Collection in Research are tools that assist researchers to gather important information regarding a specific group of people (Monette‚ Sullivan‚ & DeJong‚ 2011). There are fundamental steps that need be followed to practice accurate research as much as possible. For example‚ probability and nonprobability as stated by

Chapter 15 Audit Sampling for Tests of Transactions Key objectives: 1. Explain the concept of representative sampling. 2. Distinguish between statistical and nonstatistical sampling. 4. Define and describe audit sampling for exception rates. 5. Use nonstatistical sampling in tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions. 6. Define and describe attribute sampling and a sampling distribution. 7. Use attribute sampling in tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions

Sampling methods There are 4 basic sampling methods we have learned do far: simple random sampling‚ stratified sampling‚ clusters and systematic sampling. When we do experiments we need to use the right sampling method in order to make the experiment useful and successful. First‚ simple random sampling; it gives a sample selected in a way that gives every different sample of size n an equal chance of being selected. Second‚ stratified sampling; it divides a population into subgroups and then takes

Audit Sampling Using Statistical Methods Presented By: Abhishek Agrawal AUDIT SAMPLING • Application of an audit procedure to less than 100% of the items in a population – Account balance – Class of transactions • Examination “on a test basis” • Key: Sample is intended to be representative of the population. APIPA 2009 2 SAMPLING RISK • Possibility that the sample is NOT representative of the population • As a result‚ auditor will reach WRONG conclusion • Decision errors – Type
