Directions: You want to sample 100 students from the same college about their attitudes toward the tobacco-free policy on campus. Please match each of the following labels with the example it best fits and explain why.
a. Simple random sample
b. Stratified random sample
c. Systematic sample
d. Cluster sample
1. You go to the registrar'sofficeandget a list of all UMSL students. You assign each student a number and randomly select 100 students using the random numbers table in your book. __________
2. You get a list of all UMSL students and assign each a number. Suppose 60% of the students on campus are female and 40% are male. You use the random numbers table to select 60 women and 40 men. __________
3. You get a list of all UMSL students. You assign each person a number and start at a random point on the list of students to choose the first person - number 450. Then, you continue by selecting number 475, 500, . . . until you have 100 people.
_________
4. You aren't able to get a list of all students, so you begin by randomly selecting academic programs. You generate a list of all the academic programs, assign each a number, go to a random numbers table (e.g., https://researchbasics.education.uconn.edu/random-number-table/#) and select 6 numbers, which correspond to different programs. You get a list of all the classes offered in each program, assign each a number, and randomly select from the random numbers table to get 10 classes to survey. Finally, you go in and survey all students in those 10 classes. __________
5. Which sampling technique would be most appropriate for this study (as described in the directions at the top of this page)? Provide an argument for your choice.
