Across
- 2. A method of sampling where every individual or location has an equal chance of being chosen, minimizing bias and ensuring representativeness.
- 5. Data that others have collected.
- 6. Numerical data that can be measured and quantified, allowing for statistical analysis and mathematical calculations.
- 9. A sampling method that involves dividing a population into smaller groups (strata) based on shared attributes, and then randomly sampling from each stratum to ensure all categories are adequately represented.
Down
- 1. A sampling method where elements are selected at regular intervals from a ordered list, ensuring each sample is spaced evenly apart.
- 3. Numerical data that can only take certain fixed values, often counted in whole numbers, like the number of rivers in an area.
- 4. Numerical data that can take any value within a range, including fractions and decimals, like temperature or elevation.
- 7. Data that describes qualities or characteristics, often collected through interviews, observations, or descriptive surveys, and expressed in words.
- 8. Data you gather yourself directly in the field. This might involve conducting surveys, taking measurements, or observing geographical phenomena first-hand during fieldwork.
