In this forum, you will use you will use skillsets you have
developed in this module related to the sampling process by responding to the
following discussion prompt and answering all (4) questions. You may want to
use the internet in addition to resources provided in Module 7.
A researcher based in Miami wants to learn about the
experiences of homeless people in the United States by conducting interviews
with them. He plans to conduct in-person interviews with the homeless people he
samples. He is having trouble deciding how to draw a representative sample of
homeless people because homeless people are difficult to find, often move from
place to place, and are often cycled in and out of homelessness. The researcher
has one year and a $5,000 grant with which to conduct his interviews.
Your task is to help this researcher.
1. What is the population he wants to generalize to?
2. What are possible sampling frames (sources) from which he
can draw his sample?
3. What do you think would be a good/realistic sample size?
4. What sampling methods would you suggest he uses? Why?
