Question

The college dean obtains an alphabetical list of full-time students at her college and she selects the 26 names on that list and interviews those students to find them. Amount of student debt incurred by each of them. She uses the results to estimate the average (mean) amount of student debt incurred by college students in the united states. What type of sampling is used?

Answer 1

The right approach is "Systematic sampling".

Explanation:

• Some kind of probabilistic sampling system where population or sampling units from some kind of broader group have been randomly chosen, although at a predetermined periodic interval, is termed as Systematic sampling.
• Where there would be a moderate possibility of information manipulation, it's indeed better to simply such samples.
