Question

The CEO of a local tech company wants to estimate the proportion of employees that are pleased with the cleanliness of the breakrooms. She considers two methods of obtaining a sample of 600 employees from the 4,700 employees at the company.
Part A: To make the process easier, the CEO considers surveying the first 600 employees who enter a company annual conference center. Identify the type of sampling method proposed and discuss why this sampling method might be biased. (5 points)

Part B: The second method the CEO is contemplating involves using a random number generator app to choose a simple random sample of 600 employees from a list of 4,700 employee names. How could she implement this method? (5 points)

Answer 1

The type of sampling method proposed is a convenience sampling because it's a non-probability sampling method.

What is convenience sampling?

Convenience sampling can be defined as a type of non-probability sampling method which involves surveying and selecting representatives that are easily accessible.

The CEO could implement the second sampling method as follows:

• Assign a serial number to each employees of the total 4,700 employee names.

• Use a random number generator software to obtain 600 random numbers.

• The 600 random numbers in Step 2 above forms the desired sample of 600 employees out of 4,700 employees at the company.
