Probability (Random)
Samples
Simple random sample
-the probability is the same for all population
members to be taken as a sample.
Non-Probability Samples
Convenience sample
-subjects are selected because of their convenient
accessibility and proximity to the researcher.
Purposive sample
-The researcher chooses the sample based on who
they think would be appropriate for the study.
Quota
-the selection of a portion of the population being
studied

Tutorial 2
the extent to
which a measure,
indicator or method
of data collection
possesses the
quality of being
sound or true as far
as can be judged..
Reliability
Reliability is,
literally, the extent
to which we can rely
on the source of the
data and, therefore,
the data itself.
Reliable data is
dependable,
trustworthy, unfailing,
sure, authentic,
genuine, reputable.
Reliability
Validity
The extent to which a test measures what it is supposed
to measure
A subjective judgment made on the basis of experience
and empirical indicators
Asks "Is the test measuring what you think its
measuring?
Affected by systematic error/bias
Note: In order to be valid, a test must be reliable; but
reliability does not guarantee validity.
Data Triangulation
Analysis-check by research
