For this activity, you will be required to apply the concepts from the sampling video to example studies. It will require to read descriptions of example studies, choose which sampling approach would be most appropriate for that study, explain why, and then explain how you would use it.
This activity is only an individual submission assignment and not a discussion post. You will not be required to review any of your peers’ work.
Directions
Decide which sampling approach would be most appropriate for each of the scenarios described below. You should carefully review the “Considerations” section below before deciding which approach you believe is most appropriate.
For each scenario, please:
1. State which general approach, probability or non-probability, would be more appropriate. Explain why.
2. Identify the specific sampling approach that you would use. Briefly summarize the approach and explain why it is appropriate for the scenario.
o Note: While there are some wrong answers, there isn’t any one sampling approach that is the correct one to use for any of the scenarios. In other words, I will evaluate you less on identifying the correct approach and more on how well you explain the sampling approach and apply it to the scenario.
3. Briefly explain how you would actually recruit participants. In other words, explain how you would actually apply the sampling approach and find/choose people to participate.
