Q: What is the best way to obtain a representative sample that represents the population?

Because those conducting the survey or research cant cherry-pick who is selected to be part of the sample, probability sampling gives you the best chance to capture a sample that is truly representative of the population.

Suppose you're given a data set that classifies each sample unit into one of four categories: A, B, C, or D. You plan to create a computer database consisting of these data, and you decide to code the data as A=1, B=2, C=3, and D=4.

Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D qualitative or quantitative?

After the data are input as 1, 2, 3, or 4, are they qualitative or quantitative?

Mr. Stratford is the president of a national organization of lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender people in the United States. He wants to survey 1,000 members of his organization about the position they want the organization to take on several political issues. He knows that transgender people make up only 5 percent of his organization, but he wants to make sure that their views are accurately represented. He decides that he will randomly sample 100 transgender members and then adjust the final results so that transgender people are weighted to their actual proportion in the organization. Is Mr. Stratford collecting a representative sample?
Select one:
a. No, because the transgender people are over-represented in the final sample.
b. Yes, because the transgender people in the final sample were sampled randomly from the population of transgender people in the organization. Correct
c. No, because straight people are not included in the sample.
d. Yes, because 1,000 people is enough to make a representative sample.
