#1
Which of the following is NOT a probability sampling method?

#2
In cluster sampling, the population is divided into:
Strata
Clusters
Segments
Samples
#3
Which sampling method involves dividing the population into non-overlapping groups based on certain characteristics?
Simple random sampling
Systematic sampling
Stratified sampling
Cluster sampling
#4
Which sampling method involves selecting every kth element from a list?
Stratified sampling
Systematic sampling
Cluster sampling
Quota sampling
#5
What is a characteristic of simple random sampling?
It involves dividing the population into subgroups
It requires knowledge of population characteristics
It ensures every member of the population has an equal chance of selection
It is suitable for heterogeneous populations
#6
Which sampling method is most appropriate when the population is large and widely dispersed?
Simple random sampling
Stratified sampling
Cluster sampling
Systematic sampling
#7
What is the disadvantage of using systematic sampling?
It requires a list of the population elements
It may introduce bias if there is a pattern in the list
It is time-consuming
It does not guarantee representation of all groups in the population
#8
Which sampling method is commonly used in market research?
Simple random sampling
Stratified sampling
Convenience sampling
Quota sampling
#9
What is the purpose of stratified sampling?
To divide the population into clusters
To ensure proportional representation of subgroups
To select elements based on a predetermined pattern
To randomly select individuals from the population
#10
What is the primary limitation of convenience sampling?
It may introduce bias
It requires a sampling frame
It is time-consuming
It is difficult to implement
#11
Under which circumstances is quota sampling most useful?
When the population is heterogeneous
When the population is small
When the population is homogeneous
When the population is unknown
#12
What is an advantage of using stratified sampling over simple random sampling?
It is less expensive
It guarantees every member of the population has an equal chance of selection
It ensures better representation of population subgroups
It requires a smaller sample size
#13
What is an advantage of cluster sampling?
It is cost-effective
It ensures every member of the population is represented
It is simple to implement
It provides a greater degree of precision compared to other methods
#14
What is an advantage of using systematic sampling?
It ensures every member of the population has an equal chance of selection
It is simple to implement
It does not require a sampling frame
It eliminates bias if there is a pattern in the list
#15
What is a limitation of quota sampling?
It requires a sampling frame
It may introduce bias if the quotas are not representative
It ensures proportional representation of subgroups
It is time-consuming
