e. Convenience sample

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Presume that everyone who works in the marketing department of a corporation is included in the population. Describe how to obtain a sample of 6 employees so that the result is a convenient sample. Is it answer choice A? Select 6 employees who are readily available, such as those in the break room or those who respond quickly to a request. Answer choice B, assign numbers to all 10 teams. Use a random number generator. Select one team and include all 6 employees from that team in the sample. Answer choice C, assign numbers to all employees, and select every 10th person from the list, or answer choice D, divide employees into junior and senior levels, then randomly pick 3 from each level. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned. About what a convenient sample is to determine which of the following answer choices describes how to obtain a sample of 6 employees so that the result is a convenient sample. Well, we can recall that a convenience sample is a sample in which the subjects are chosen based on ease of access rather than randomness. So in order to obtain a sample of 6 employees, so that the result is a convenient sample, we must first define the population, which in this scenario, we can define the population as 60 total employees. So the first step is to identify the employees who are easily accessible, as a convenient sample involves the subjects being chosen based on ease of Access rather than randomness. And once we have identified the employees who are easily accessible, we can then select 6 employees who are readily available as we need to obtain a sample of 6 employees. And the employees who are readily available can be employees that are found maybe in the break room working nearby, or employees that respond quickly to the survey request. Therefore, the answer choice that describes how to obtain a sample of 6 employees, so that the result is a convenient sample is answer choice A. As answer choice A says, select 6 employees who are readily. Available, such as those in the break room or those who respond quickly to a request. So answer choice A is the correct answer, and all other answer choices are incorrect. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
