Question

3 CaiviH or Susie. DQuestion 29 1 pts In reading about a study, you get upset when the researchers do not use random sampling. However, in talking with me about it, I ask you "When is it important to use a good representative sample of the population?" Your response should be which of the following? O A. When you are doing a general study that would apply to anyone. O B. If you are doing an applied study with a particular population in mind. C. If you are doing basic research that builds upon general principles about a general population. O D. If you are using college students as your population and as your sample base. E. When you doing a study based on a large grant for a general audience.

Explanation / Answer

Ans B ) If you are doing an applied study with a particular population in mind.

Not all studies can be conducted on the general population for the purpose of research. If there is a conduction of some applied study , the representative sample of the population must be used. In such a case the biasness of the result is eliminated and better results are obtained.
