and density than a disturbed habitat. The experiment will investigate the sample area’s using the method of Quadrant sampling. Quadrants are placed in a grid pattern on the sample area. The occurrence of organisms in these squares is noted. It is used to estimate population parameters when the organisms present are too numerous to count in total. In this case‚ Quadrant sampling will be used to estimate and compare population species diversity and density of a abandoned lot and a city pathway using

Recall that inductive reasoning moves from individual observations to general principles. If a researcher can observe a characteristic of interest in all members of a population

Please write down four factors which affect sampling error and for each factor‚ write down the effect of sampling error (i.e.‚ if a factor is up‚ then what happens to the sampling error) 8. Please write down four factors to decide sample size and for each factor‚ write down the effect of sample size (i.e.‚ if a factor is up‚ then what happens to the sample size) 9.

Comparative Social System Society: Several Conditions must be met before people can be said to be living in one societyFirst- They must occupy a common territory. Second- They must not only share this territory but must also interact with one other. Third- They must to some extent have a common culture and a shared sense of membership in and commitment to the same group. So‚ we may say then‚ that a Society is a group of interacting individual‚ sharing the same territory and participating in a common

Types of Sampling In applications: Probability Sampling: Simple Random Sampling‚ Stratified Random Sampling‚ Multi-Stage Sampling * What is each and how is it done? * How do we decide which to use? * How do we analyze the results differently depending on the type of sampling? Non-probability Sampling: Why don’t we use non-probability sampling schemes? Two reasons: * We can’t use the mathematics of probability to analyze the results. * In general‚ we can’t count on a non-probability

Ans.1: Non-Probability Sampling: When the units of a sample are chosen so that each unit in the population does not have a calculable non-zero probability of being selected in the sample‚ this is called Non-Probability Sampling. Also‚ Non-probability sampling is a sampling technique where the samples are gathered in a process that does not give all the individuals in the population equal chances of being selected. In contrast with probability sampling‚ non-probability sample is not a product

In “The Problem of Cell 13”‚ Jacques Futrelle tells how a scientist‚ Professor Van Dusen (also known as The Thinking Machine) takes on an experiment challenged by his friends‚ Dr. Charles Ransom and Alfred Fielding. The challenge he accepts is to escape a death-cell in Chisholm Prison within 7 days. He requests three harmful things: tooth powder‚ his boots polished‚ and $25. (Two 10s and a 5) The purpose of proving this experiment is because Dusen believes “Nothing is impossible. The mind is master
