7.1 Introduction
Consider: do you need one or more samples?
If you need to collect data from every possible case or group member = census.
However for most this will be impossible. This means you need to select data for a subgroup/
sample of all possible cases.
The full set of cases or elements from which a sample is taken is called the population.
Consequently, the researcher may redefine the population as something more manageable:
a subset of the population called the target population.
TARGET POPULATION AND POPULATION IS THE SAME>!!!
Sampling techniques:
1. Probability or representative sampling;
2. Non-probability sampling
