3a method of poll selection that gives each person in a group the same chance of being selected.3 sets
4a method of poll selection that gives each person in a group the same chance of being selected3 sets
5key technique of researchers; everyone has equal chance of being selected for survey2 sets
6selecting participants for a study at random2 sets
7a method of randomly choosing people for a survey2 sets
8no order of choosing (draw names from a hat)2 sets
9a method of sampling whereby every member of a population has an equal probability of being chosen to participate in the survey2 sets
10method that allows pollsters to poll a representative cross section of the public2 sets
11one that fairley represents a pop. because each member has equal chance of being selected2 sets

13the key technique employed by sophisticated survey researchers, which operates on the principle that everyone should have an equal probability of being selected for the sample2 sets
14the selection of a random sample2 sets
15allows you to make inferences about populations2 sets
16the procedure for selecting a group of participants from a population that ensures each member has an equal chance of being chosen1 set
17a form of allocating subjects from the population of interest to form part of the sample in such a manner that each member of the population has an equal chance to be selected. one method of doing this is using random number tables of selection. if the sample is of sufficient size, it is usually representative of the population.1 set
18a method of selecting participants for a study so that everyone in a population has an equal chance of being in the study.1 set
19fairly represents a population because each member has an equal chance of inclusion.1 set
20everyone has an equal opportunity of being sampled1 set
21examing a representative rather than all; also called statistical sampling1 set
22selections from a population allows inference to the population1 set
23a procedure guaranteeing that everyone in the population has an equal likelihood of being selected for the sample1 set
24often used to conduct polls, based off the ideas of equal probability1 set
25researchers draw a sample from the population randomly so that every person in the population has an equal chance of being selected1 set
26if a population is too large, a representative sample must be drawn in which every person has an equal chance of being chosen to participate1 set
27making a representative sample, sites chosen at random1 set
28cases are selected only on the basis of chance. not be confused with "haphazard" sampling. the researcher must be very careful to ensure that nothing other than chance influences the selection of cases.1 set
29gives everyone in the population an equal probability of being selected in public opinion sampling. a way of gauging political beliefs/behaviors1 set
30system used to select a sample where every member of a population has an equal chance of being selected1 set
31idea that anyone has equal chance of being selected/ sampling bias hurts this1 set
32key technique used in surverys. everyone should have equal opportunity to be polled (otherwise it isn't random)1 set
33cross section of public (if done right, 300m measured by 1500)1 set
34when every member of the population of research has an equal chance of being selected as a particpant in the study1 set
35method that ensures that every member of population being studied has an equal chance of being chosen1 set
36selection using chance method or random numbers. equal chance.1 set
37makes allele frequency maintenance unlikely.1 set
38a method of selecting participants where every candidate has an equal chance of being chosen throughout the selection procedure eg names from a hat.1 set
39every member has an equal opportunity to be selected1 set
40the selection of a sample from a population so that each member of the population has an equal chance of being included.1 set
