Sampling and Data
Data, Sampling, and Variation in Data and Sampling
Categorize the type of sampling (stratified, systematic, cluster, or convenience) used in each of the following situations. A researcher chooses 10 zip codes and randomly selects barbershops within each area. Diners exiting a fancy New York restaurant are asked to evaluate the price and cost of their dinner. Looking in the phone book for pediatricians, a mother decides to write down the phone number of every 3rd doctor. A random sample of elementary students, middle school students, high school students, and college students enrolled in Tahlequah schools were selected to partake in a school satisfaction survey.
