Q1
a) OXFORD ADVANCED LEARNER’S ENGLISH-CHINESE DICTIONARY is what I use for this assignment. Due to it is the largest, most authoritative English-Chinese dictionary in print. It contains over 185000 words phrases and meaning, including the latest vocabulary form different fields.
b) In the dictionary, a headword, spelling of the headword and definition of the headword are given in English, follow by explanations for this headword in Chinese. The way to check whether you know this vocabulary is that you can pronounce and spelling this vocabulary correctly, and then can use this vocabulary in sentence(s) to illustrate it’s meaning without looking at the definition.

Each member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the samples.
• Used only if the population has no differentiated levels, sections, or classes. Done with or without replacement.
• It is a fair way to select a sample and reasonable to generalize the results from the sample back to population
The disadvantages
• Different to obtain
• The process relatively easy for small population but relatively difficult and time consuming for a large population
• Due to its randomness, “freak” results can sometimes be obtained that are not representative of subgroups in the population. In addition, these results may be difficult to spot. Increasing the sample size is the best way to eradicate this problem.
Systematic sampling
Systematic sampling is type of probability sampling which select samples by following some rules set by research which involves selecting the k’th member where the random the random start is determined.
• Record that total number of vocabulary in the dictionary is M, total pages is N
• Choose the sample size you want n pages
• Choose our starting page randomly x, not first 10 page and not the last 10 page, since those pages in most cases are not typical
• Sampled the dictionary at equal interval, say N/n = k
• So the number of sample page is X, which are x, x+k, x+2k, x+3k, ...
• Test yourself whether you
The population sampled due to its specific nature i.e., college students, and college graduates would need to be contemplated in regards to the testing results as it is offered as a depiction of the general population.
Describe the experimental method, state its advantages and disadvantages, and distinguish between independent and dependent variables.

According to Schutt (2008), sampling is defined as a subset of population used in a study to be a representation of the population as a whole. My final project is a pre-hire assessment which analyzes potential risky pattern behaviors and emotions in the work place. One of the most important considerations related to sampling that will need to be addressed in my final project is defining the population that will be taking the assessment.
Explain each sampling technique discussed in the “Visual Learner: Statistics” in your own words, and give examples of when each technique would be appropriate.
List any relevant vocabulary words with definitions. Vocabulary words include any terms that you were unfamiliar with during the course of your reading; it may be helpful to consider words defined in the textbook in footnotes within the work.
This sample may have a bias resulting from subjects that have a special interest in the subject being studied.
generalise his findings to a larger population due to the unrepresentative sample. A criticism of his
* With a small sample the results may not be representative of the whole population.
When researchers select participants from several different parts of the population, they are selecting a
“In systematic sampling when population size N is a multiple of the sample size n, (N = nk), where k is the sampling interval, a unit is selected at random from the first k units and then every kth unit is selected to get a sample size” (Khan, Shabbir, & Gupta, 2013, p. 2659). A systematic sample frame for a healthcare management position will look like a list of all qualifying candidates (N) and every kth candidate is chosen for interviews from the
The dictionary is one of the most important sources to be used. It does not provide just the definition of a word, but it explains the origin of the word as well as includes examples
To draw a simple random sample can be drawn using sampling frame in each organizations is assignment a unique identification number. Then, random numbers are generated to determine which organizations to include in the sample. If we want to choose 100 organizations, we just need select 100 from the sampling frame containing many organizations.
The verbal languages spread across China is one of diversity, the dialectal variances between areas within China is amazing. The history surrounding the spoken languages in China is also rather remarkable. “When a republic was declared in 1912, there was no common spoken language in China. Yes. Imperial officials had communicated in tongue used by the elites in Beijing. But the rest of the vast country was linguistically fractured…The lack of a common tongue has always seemed to threaten the daunting
The sample selection technique is stratified systemic random sampling technique where each ward of the city represents a stratum, using probability proportional to size technique.
