- 5. in this sampling technique each member of a population has an equal probability of being chosen
- 8. the broad term for data that can be measured numerically
- 10. this group of sampling techniques is when researchers select units from a population that they are interested in studying
- 11. data that has zero value, such as income
- 12. major entity that is being analyzed in a study, such as someone, something or somewhere data is being collected from
- 13. data that can only take certain values, such as number of students in a class (you can’t have half a student)

- 15. in this sampling technique members from a larger population are selected according to a random starting point and a fixed, periodic interval
- 16. data that is set into some kind of order by their position on the scale
Down
- 1. process in which data, in both quantitative form (such as questionnaires results) or qualitative (such as interview transcripts) is categorised to facilitate analysis
- 2. this group of sampling techniques utilises some form of random selection
- 4. data will have infinite number of possible values within the selected range, such as height
- 6. something that can change, such as gender or age, and may be different between units
- 7. degree to which results of a study based on a sample can be said to represent the results that would be obtained from the entire population from which the sample was drawn
- 9. in this sampling technique participants are selected because of their availability or easy access
- 15. in this sampling technique participants are asked to assist researchers in identifying other potential subjects
