Question

dr g was supposed to submit 4 student names to his dean. these students were to attend a conference hosted by community colleges of washington. he totally forgot about this and remembered 5 minutes before the names were due and as he was conducting lectures for his math256 class. he submitted 4 names from this class. dr g employed a. systematic sampling b. convenience sampling c. stratified sampling d. random sampling

Explanation:

Convenience sampling involves selecting individuals who are easily accessible or available. In this case, Dr G submitted names from his Math256 class because they were convenient (he was conducting lectures for them and could quickly get 4 names). Systematic sampling would involve a fixed - interval selection (e.g., every 5th student in a list). Stratified sampling would divide the population into subgroups (strata) and sample from each. Random sampling would involve a random selection method (like using a random number generator to pick 4 students from all eligible students in the college, not just from one class).

Answer:

B. Convenience Sampling
