possible to matching the population. A random sample is then taken from within one or more selected clusters. For example‚ if an organization has 30 small projects currently under development‚ an auditor looking for compliance to the coding standard might use cluster sampling to randomly select 4 of those projects as representatives for the audit and then randomly sample code modules for auditing from just those 4 projects. Cluster sampling can tell us a lot about that particular cluster‚ but unless the

Case 25-2: Armco Inc.: Midwestern Steel Division* Note: This case is unchanged from the Twelfth Edition. Approach The Armco case was designed to illustrate a performance measurement system with measures cascading from strategic priorities down to the lowest organization levels. The system is not tightly linked with incentive compensation‚ although that is being discussed. Still‚ the focus on measured results promises to change managerial behaviors significantly.

This study would be at natural as they could possibly make it. This would show them the different affect of depression on individuals. The correlation method can be used to study depression
