- 1. A method of data collection that has participants answer a series of questions.
- 2. Divide the population into at least two sub-populations that share the same characteristic, and then draw a sample from each group.
- 4. A count or measure of part of a population.
- 5. A measurement of a variable in which the numbers indicating a variable's values represent fixed measuring units and an absolute zero point
- 8. Classifies data into categories that can be ranked; however, precise differences between the ranks do not exist
- 13. data that consists of names, labels, or categories
- 14. A sample that every possible sample of the same size has the same chance of being selected.
- 15. choosing individuals who are easiest to reach
- 16. A research method that requires use of a treatment and then observes its effects on the subjects.
- 17. Characteristic of a sample
- 19. The collection of all outcomes, responses, measurements, or counts that are of interest
- 20. Divide the population into sections and then randomly select a few of those sections, then choose all the members of those sections.
- 21. Information that describes qualities or characteristics.
