| 5 In a ___________ sampling scheme, every member of the target population has some known chance of being included in the sample. | 3 Due to their focus on rich, thick, detailed information, case studies are particularly well suited to collecting data in _____________ form. |
| 7 Observational research methods involve __________ the occurrence of some outcome(s) of interest. | 4 In order for a systematic sample to be truly representative, the researcher may first need to ___________ the listing of population elements. |
| 10 A stratified random sample differs from a _______ sample in that the stratified sample is selected randomly or probabilistically. | 5 Judgment or ___________ sampling involves pre-targeting certain subjects for definite inclusion in the study. |
| 13 A "good" sample is one that is highly ___________ of its defined target population. | 6 Experimental designs are characterized by tight control of potential _________ variables. |
| 14 In a true experimental design, the researcher both randomly selects and ___________ study subjects to two or more subgroups. | 8 A _________ sample involves randomly selecting intact groups of subjects or sampling units for one's study. |
| 16 A hypothesis is used to _________ the outcome of a research study. | 9 A descriptive design methodology is used when the researcher seeks to ________ something. |
