Question

Probability samples are advantageous to the researcher because: A. they are perfectly representative of the population from which they are drawn. B. the method by which they are selected limits conscious and unconscious sampling bias. C. the method by which they are selected limits conscious and unconscious bias and the accuracy/representativeness of the sample can be estimated. D. they allow the researcher maximum exibility in the creation of samples. E. the accuracy/representativeness of the sample can be estimated.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. the method by which they are selected limits conscious and unconscious bias and the accuracy/representativeness of the sample can be estimated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability sampling technique allows for each element in the sample to be representative of the population data from which the samples are drawn. This sort of sampling technique helps to randomize and eliminate errors which might creep into measurement. Since the researcher has the knowledge of the population data or distribution, he takes advantage of these in the allocation of samples using the probabilities of each Sample.
