A researcher is interested in collecting blood pressure data across a state. Match each of the descriptions to the sampling methods described. Sampling Methods Description Method 1) The researcher contacts every hospital in the state and asks them to share their patients' blood pressure data A) Simple Random Sample 2) The researcher makes a list of every county in the state, and, proportionally, takes a random sample from every county B) Random Cluster Sample 3) The researcher makes a list of every zip code in the state, randomly selects a few of the zip codes, and collects all the data from the people in those chosen zip codes. C) Stratified Random Sample 4) The researcher makes a list of every person in the state and randomly selects which people in the list will be a part of the sample. D) Voluntary Response Sample

A sampling method that divides the population into clusters or groups and randomly selects some of the clusters for the sample.

A hospital wants to survey religious participants in their city about what they seek from a hospital chaplain, so they randomly select   religious meetings in the city and survey every participant in those meetings.What type of sample is this?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A)   Simple random sampleASimple random sample(Choice B)   Stratified random sampleBStratified random sample(Choice C)   Cluster random sampleCCluster random sample(Choice D)   Systematic random sampleDSystematic random sample(Choice E)   None of the aboveENone of the above

Why would a researcher use simple random sampling as a sampling technique?a.To systematically choose samples from a given list of individuals.b.To consider giving an equal chance to the member of the accessible population being selected as part of the study.c.To group entire population into clusters since the location of the samples are widely spread.d.To ensure that all subcategories of the population are represented in the sample selection.

Which technique for gathering data (sampling, experiment, simulation, or census) do you think was used in the following studies?(a) An analysis of a sample of 31,000 patients from New York hospitals suggests that the poor and the elderly sue for malpractice at one-fifth the rate of wealthier patients. (Journal of the American Medical Association).samplingexperiment    simulationcensus(b) The effects of wind shear on airplanes during both landing and takeoff were studied by using complex computer programs that mimic actual flight.samplingexperiment    simulationcensus(c) A study of all league football scores attained through touchdowns and field goals was conducted by the National Football League to determine whether field goals account for more scoring events than touchdowns (USA Today).samplingexperiment    simulationcensus(d) An Australian study included 588 men and women who already had some precancerous skin lesions. Half got skin cream containing a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 17; half got an inactive cream. After 7 months, those using the sunscreen with the sun protection had fewer precancerous skin lesions (New England Journal of Medicine).samplingexperiment    simulationcensus

Which sampling technique is typically used when the researcher cannot obtain a complete list of the entire population?*1 pointA. Simple random samplingB. Systematic samplingC. Convenience samplingD. Quota sampling
