C- a universally free voting system
In its most basic definition a democracy is a government by the people, for the people. A voting system or elections give people the opportunity to voice their interests about things like representative officials, policies and budgets. Voting is one of the most important characteristics of a true democracy.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"Dr. Parrett is a sports psychologist for a large Southern university. The provost and chancellor have asked him to examine the relationship between athletic performance and academic stress at the university. For example, is it the case that the most talented athletes experience the greatest concern over their grades? The provost and chancellor have made it clear to Dr. Parrett that they want a large amount of external validity in the study. He has valid and reliable measures of both athletic performance and academic stress. He knows that he does not have the time or the money to study the entire population of interest.
Imagine that Dr. Parrett wants to use a nonrepresentative sampling technique. Name the three types of nonprobability sampling and explain how each one could be used by Dr. Parrett."
Answer:
The four types of nonprobability sampling are convenience sampling, purposive sampling, quota sampling, and snowball sampling.
Explanation:
Convenience sampling: Allows a selection to be made of a small sample of the target population of the research. This sample is made up of individuals who are available and accessible to research and not through statistical criteria. Regarding the question above, Dr. Parrett can select the athletes he knows and who would like to participate in the research.
Purposive sampling: It allows the sample to be controlled whenever a certain manipulation is possible to generate expected and known results. In the case of the question above, Dr Parrett can search for specific athletes, with characteristics that will generate an expected result in the research.
Snowball sampling: Allows the individuals who make up the sample to invite other individuals to compose the sample, who in turn can invite other individuals. In the case of the question above, Dr. Parret can invite the athletes he wants and ask them to call friends to participate in the survey as well.
Sampling quota: Allows the individuals who will compose the sample to be selected due to their characteristics and qualities. Regarding the question above, Dr. Parrett could only summon athletes with high marks.
Answer:
The answers are:
a. dependent
b. independent
c. test
d. control
Explanation:
In scientific research, investigations are done to study whether certain factors change while changing others, and the following terms are associated with scientific research:
a. dependent variable: These are factors or outcomes that are being investigated in a research experiment, and they are not under the direct control of the researcher. They are factors that vary as a result of other changes made in the process. In our example, the heart rate and blood pressure are proposed to vary with the type of film watched hence these factors are dependent variables.
b. independent variable: Independent variables are variables that are under the direct manipulation of the researcher, and the predetermined variation of these variables cause certain effects on the dependent variables. In our example, the type of film is the independent variable, because the researcher has complete control over the type of film watched.
c. Test group: These are the group of participants/individuals in research, who will potentially be affected by the change in the dependent variable to cause an effect that deviates from the normal. In our example, the group that views the violent film is the test group, because there is a tendency that they might have altered heart rate and blood pressure as a result of the type of film viewed.
d. control group: The control group is the group of individuals whose effects at the end of the experiments will serve as baseline effects, to serve as a means of measuring the magnitude of variation in the test group. These groups serve to eliminate any other effects that might cause similar changes as the factor being investigated in all test participants.
