Question 4
A population is the representation of the entire group that an individual wants to conclude about. On the other hand, a sample is a precise and specific fact that an individual will collect data and information. By exploring Waples, & Gaggiotti, (2006), it is apparent that the sample size is always smaller relative to the total population size. In research, the population does not necessarily mean people. Qu et al., 2020 indicates that a population can imply a group of elements or anything an individual wants to research, such as organizations, events, objects, species, and countries.
For the dissertation topic, considering that the population is extensive in size, difficult to contact, and geographically disperse, it will be necessary to use a research sample. Sample data will be used in testing the hypothesis or making estimates about the population data. Fischer, et al (2017) research shows that other factors that will be considered when determining the sample size include the sampling method, study design, and outcome measures such as standard deviation, effect size, significance level, and study power. This factor is that coming up with the appropriate sample size is a balancing act since enough sampling is necessary to capture all the variability required to design the research.
The descriptive statics employed in the dissertation are Measures frequency such as percentage, frequency, and Count since they will show how frequently something happens. Measures of central tendency such as mean median and mode will also be crucial in locating the independent variable’s distribution by various points. Khan Hassan, & Marimuthu (2017) Indicates that Measures of variation such as Variance, range, and standard deviation will be essential in identifying the spread of scores by clearly indicating the intervals.
