Which sampling method often results in non-representative samples due to its non-random nature?

A. Convenience Sampling

B. Snowball Sampling

C. Purposive Sampling

D. Quota Sampling

Correct answer is: A. Convenience Sampling

Convenience sampling can lead to biased, non-representative samples because it relies on ease of access rather than random selection.

Researchers prefer probability sampling for greater generalizability because it involves

A. Non-random Selection

B. Random Selection

C. Stratified Selection

D. Cluster Selection

Correct answer is: B. Random Selection

Probability sampling is preferred for generalizability because it involves random selection, reducing bias.

B. Systematic Sampling

C. Random Sampling

D. Double Sampling

A. Null Form

B. Declaration Form

C. Question Form

D. Prediction Form

Correct answer is: B. Declaration Form

A declarative form of hypothesis clearly states the relationship or difference between the variables.

Accidental Sampling is the other name of

A. Convenience Sampling

B. Snowball Sampling

C. Purposive Sampling

D. Quota Sampling

When hypothesis anticipates a relationship between the variables, it is in

A. Null Form

B. Declaration Form

C. Question Form

D. Prediction Form

Correct answer is: D. Prediction Form

The prediction form anticipates a certain relationship or outcome between variables.

Judgment Sampling is the other name of

A. Convenience Sampling

B. Snowball Sampling

C. Purposive Sampling

D. Quota Sampling
