Population/Sample Show
A population consists of all the objects or events of a certain type about which researchers seek knowledge or information. A population might be broad in scope (e.g., adult males living in the United States) or narrow (e.g., blog postings in the first 24 hours after a significant event). Even when a population consists of a relatively small number of objects or events, it is often impractical or impossible to gather data about each member of the population. Instead, researchers select a subset of the population, called a sample, which is a manageable size for observation. From their observations about the sample, researchers make generalizations about the population from which the sample was chosen. The ability of researchers to make generalizations depends on ...  locked icon Sign in to access this contentSign in Get a 30 day FREE TRIAL

b. False In regard to sampling procedures, if a researcher wants to be able to generalize results to the total population of interest, then a purposeful sampling technique is the best approach.
b. False “Sampling” is a process where researchers select a portion of the total population to be included in their study (as opposed to studying the whole population of interest).
b. False In order to be able to conduct simple random sampling, there needs to exist a list of all possible subjects/objects from the total population of interest.
b. False If a researcher wants to make generalizations to the total population, the best sampling strategy to utilize would be a snowball sample.
b. False Sampling has its disadvantage for quantitative research because statistical procedures cannot be utilized to analyze the data.
b. False A “sampling frame” is a list of all elements in the population to be studied.
b. False The two broad categories of sampling techniques are probability and nonprobability.
b. False The simple random sample is a sample from the population in which every member of the total population has an equal chance of being selected.
b. False Nonprobability sampling occurs when a researcher's goal is to study a specific sample of interest and be less concerned about making generalizations to the total population.
b. False The type of sampling technique will determine what statistical analysis options are available to the researcher.
b. False $\begingroup$ What is the difference among target population,study population and theoretical population ? asked Feb 21, 2014 at 10:01
$\endgroup$ 3 $\begingroup$ They can be confusing. However attempts were made to define them:
Here is another example: Basically, target population (also known as theoretical population) is the group to whom we wish to generalize our findings. Study population (also known as accessible population) is the actual sampling frame, from which we randomly drew our sample. This is the group to whom we actually can generalize our findings, because we sampled from them. Having said these, for safety I would recommend checking the glossary and definition of the text to make sure the authors really do use the same system. answered Feb 21, 2014 at 15:00
$\endgroup$ $\begingroup$ Easily speaking: Target population is the population you are interested in your study; Study population is a sub population that you are taking from the target population for doing your study Theoretical population is the same as target population, which is the population you want your study to be generalized to. For example, you want to do a study: the average height of all men between age 20 to 30 in Canada, then the target and theoretical population is all men between age 20 to 30; and your study population would be say all men between age 20 to 30 in Ontario. answered Feb 21, 2014 at 15:20

Also known as the theoretical population, it serves as the main environment for the researcher's hypothesis in a general term. For instance, one may be thinking about doing a research on the criteria for recruiting high school teachers in Liberia. High school teachers in Liberia is the target population, which is quite large, difficult to manage, difficult to sample, etc. On the other hand, the study population, which is also known as the accessible population, is the population that is derived from the target population for the smooth conduction of the research in a specific term. For instance, instead of the entire population of high school teachers in Liberia, the researcher could consider doing a study on the high school teachers of the Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS). This specific group of people is the study population, which is manageable, much easy to sample, etc. answered Jul 28, 2017 at 3:55
$\endgroup$ What is the population of a research study?A population is the entire group that you want to draw conclusions about. A sample is the specific group that you will collect data from. The size of the sample is always less than the total size of the population. In research, a population doesn't always refer to people.
What term pertains to the composition of the entire group of people or objects to which the researcher wishes to generalize the findings of the study?In research terms a sample is a group of people, objects, or items that are taken from a larger population for measurement. The sample should be representative of the population to ensure that we can generalise the findings from the research sample to the population as a whole.
What do you call the entire group of individuals or objects to be studied?Target population (universe) The entire group of people or objects to which the researcher wishes to generalize the study findings.
What do you call an individual that represents the entire population of the target respondents of the study?Representative samples are known for collecting results, insights, and observations that can be confidently relied on as a representation of the larger population being studied. As such, representative sampling is typically the best method for marketing or psychology studies.
