Our orders are delivered strictly on time without delay 
As you might expect, it is impossible to study the entirety of any particular population. However, researchers can collect data for their studies from a sample of that population. The characteristics of the sample are important for generalizability—the extent to which research findings can be applicable to a larger population. To support generalizability, the sample should be as much like the population as possible and a large enough size to mitigate the chance of differences.
This week, you explore sampling and select a sampling technique for your research. Additionally, you begin to compile information and plans for your proposed study into a formal research proposal. Part 1 is due this week, and you will submit Part 2 next week.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
• Identify the population and sample for a proposed research study
• Analyze the needs of the research study to determine an appropriate sampling method
• Analyze ethical and cultural considerations related to research study population
