Six Sampling Techniques

Across

• 1. This usually involves the sociologist selecting the research subjects randomly from a list of names or addresses called a ‘sampling frame’. (6, 8)
• 5. The research decides how many of each category of person should be included in a sample and goes out looking for these people until the sample is done (5)
• 7. Involves randomly choosing a number between one and ten, say seven, then picking out every tenth number, e.g. 7, 17, 27, 37 (10, 6)
• 8. Involves dividing the research population into a number of different sampling frames and then using systematic random sampling to select the group that will be the research sample (10, 6)
