Test II. Random Sampling Techniques
Directions: Identify the sampling method being used in each scenario. Write your answer
on the space provided each number. (
1. A sample of 2,000 was sought to estimate the average achievement in science of fifth
graders in a city's public schools. The average fifth grade enrolment in the city's
elementary schools is 100 students. Thus, 20 schools were randomly selected and within
each of those schools all fifth graders were tested.
2. A researcher is interested in maximum-security inmates. She groups inmates by the
type of crime committed, determines the percentage of the total in each crime category,
and uses that percentage to determine the number of inmates randomly selected from
each group.
3. A researcher has a population of 100 third grade children from a local school district
from which a sample of 25 children is to be selected. Each child's name is put on a lei
and each child is assigned a number from 1 to 100. Then the numbers 1 to 100 aro
written on separate pieces of paper and shuffled. Finally, the researcher picks 25 slips or
paper and the numbers on the paper determine the 25 participants.
