EX. 4.1A Key Concepts of Sampling Target Population: The total specifically defined set of people about whom you want to gather information. Sampling Frame: A subset of the population to be surveyed Sample—those who respond Random: Each member of the target population has an equal chance of being in the sample Use the Maxwell Manual!

EX. 4.3 Estimating Sample Size Required contacts = Desired sample size Expected response rate For example, if you desire a sample size of 250, and you expect a response rate of 40%, the following formula shows that you would need to contact 625 individuals: Stress the formula more and that students must estimate and justify the response 625 = 250 .40 Maxwell Manual pg. 37-38
