Question
Answer
population   A _______ is the aggregate of all the elements that share some common set of characteristics, and that comprise the universe for the purpose of the marketing research problem.  
🗑
census   A ______ involves a complete enumeration of the elements of a population.  
🗑
sample   A ________, on the other hand, is a subgroup of the population selected for participation in the study.  
🗑
parameter   A _______ is a summary description of a fixed characteristic or measure of the target population. A parameter denotes the true value which would be obtained if a census rather than a sample was undertaken.  
🗑
statistic   A _______ is a summary description of a characteristic or measure of the sample. The sample statistic is used as an estimate of the population parameter.  
🗑
target population   is the collection of elements or objects that possess the information sought by the researcher  
🗑
element   is the object about which or from which the information is desired  
🗑
sampling unit   is an element, or a unit containing the element, that is available for selection at some stage of the sampling process.  
🗑
extent   refers to the geographical boundaries.  
🗑
Defining the target population   involves translating the marketing research problem into a precise statement of who should or should not be included in the sample  
🗑
Convenience sampling   attempts to obtain a sample of convenient elements. Often, respondents are selected because they happen to be in the right place at the right time  
🗑
Judgmental sampling   is a form of convenience sampling in which the population elements are selected based on the judgment of the researcher.  
🗑
quota sampling   a non probability which may be viewed as a two stage restricted judgemental sampling. ex. 50% male 50% female  
🗑
sample frame   it's a list of potential participants  
🗑
sample frame error   the list may not be updated (list is outdated)  
🗑
snowball sampling   an initial group of respondents is selected, usually at random. 1 person starts to turn into more people  
🗑
simple random sampling   each element in the population has a known and equal probability of selection.  
🗑
systematic sampling   the sample is chosen by selecting a random starting point and then picking every ith element in succession from the sampling frame.  
🗑
Stratified sampling   is a two-step process in which the population is partitioned into subpopulations, or strata.  
🗑
cluster sampling   the target population is first divided into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive subpopulations, or clusters  
🗑
cluster   each _________is heterogeneous in the inside but homogenous on the outside  
🗑
strata   elements within a _______ is homogenous but heterogenous on the outside  
🗑
geography   you build clusters around __________  
🗑
returning to the field   The questionnaires with unsatisfactory responses may be ___________, where the interviewers recontact the respondents  
🗑
Assigning Missing Values   If returning the questionnaires to the field is not feasible, the editor may ___________ to unsatisfactory responses.  
🗑
discarding Unsatisfactory Respondents   In this approach, the respondents with unsatisfactory responses are simply discarded.  
🗑
coding   means assigning a code, usually a number, to each possible response to each question.  
🗑
data cleaning   if someone missed a question, dont just throw away the question. plug in a 99  
🗑
codebook   contains coding instructions and the necessary information about variables in the data set  
🗑
what are the non probability techniques   convinience, judgmental, quota, and snowball  
🗑
what are the probability techniques   simple random, systematic, stratified ,and cluster  
🗑
simple random   which sampling Difficult to construct sampling frame; expensive  
🗑
snowball   which sampling is time consuming  
🗑
statistical sampling   which sampling Can increase representativeness; easier to implement than SRS; sampling frame not needed  
🗑
cluster sampling   which sampling is Easy to implement; cost effective  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
