QuestionWhat type of sample is taken from easily contactable people? A. random B. contact C. convenience D. representative
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The question is asking for a type of sample that is characterized by the ease of contact with the people in the sample.
. The options provided are random sample, contact sample, convenience sample, and representative sample.
3. Each of these options represents a different type of sample used in statistics.
STEP 2
Let's analyze each optionA. A random sample is a subset of individuals that are randomly selected from a population. The ease of contact is not a defining characteristic of this type of sample.
B. A contact sample is not a recognized term in statistics. This option is likely incorrect.
C. A convenience sample is a type of non-probability sampling method where the sample is taken from a group of people easy to contact or to reach. This seems to fit the description given in the question.
. A representative sample is a small quantity of something that accurately reflects the larger entity. The ease of contact is not a defining characteristic of this type of sample.
STEP 3
Based on the analysis in2, the correct answer is C. convenience sample.
The solution to the problem is C. convenience sample.
