Question

The owner of a large company is conducting a survey about job satisfaction, including questions about salary, hours, stress, and other conditions. There are about eight hundred employees in the company, including one hundred executive positions, six hundred fifty middle-management positions, and fifty custodial positions. The owner wants to include about ten percent of his employees in the survey sample.

Identify a sampling method that would lead to a representative sample for the survey. Explain why it would be a good choice and give details about the process.

Answer 1

reposting the same question over and over again is considered a form of spam ... just in case you were not aware if that

Answer 2

it is just hard

Answer 3

which sampling defintion splits a population into subgroup, then takes samples from the subgroups?

Answer 4

if you add up all the positions, to determine how much is 10% ... you would have a basis for the subgroups

Answer 5

10% of 100 = 10 executives
10% of 650 = 65 middle managers
10% of 50 = 5 custodial workers

Answer 6

is this right

Answer 7

oh, they way there are 800 positions; 10% is 80

100/800 = 10/80 pick 10 from that group
650/800 = 65/80 pick 65

loks good

Answer 8

the name of that sampling is called what tho?

Answer 9

?

Answer 10

when we divide the population into different groups; its called stratification. then picking a simple random sample from each group gives us a good representative sample

the one that often gets confused with it is the cluster; the cluster separates and then takes one of the clusters as the sample

Answer 11
