LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Explain the difference between probability and nonprobability sampling, and describe the major types of probability sampling.
- Define sampling bias in general and nonresponse bias in particular. List some techniques that can be used to increase the response rate and reduce nonresponse bias.
- List the four major ways to conduct a survey along with some pros and cons of each.
