Answer

**I. True/False**<br /><br />1. **True**<br />2. **False**. Participant observation involves active participation in the community.<br />3. **False**. Non-participant observation involves observing without participating. The statement describes a contradiction.<br />4. **False**. Unstructured or informal interviews are flexible and use open-ended questions.<br />5. **True**<br />6. **True**<br />7. **False**. Observation is often used in conjunction with other data collection methods.<br />8. **False**. Questionnaires are often used to obtain statistically significant results.<br />9. **False**. Questionnaires can be used to collect both qualitative and quantitative data.<br /><br />**II. Multiple Choice**<br /><br />10. **C**. Sampling errors decrease with larger sample sizes.<br />11. **C**. Giving every unit an equal chance of being selected.<br />12. **B**. At regular intervals from a random starting point.<br />13. **B**. Lottery method.<br />14. **B**. Dividing the population into homogenous groups and sampling from each group.<br />15. **B**. Intact groups selected as whole samples.<br />16. **A**. Dividing the population into clusters and then into sub-groups.<br />17. **B**. Selection based on the researcher's subjective judgment.<br />18. **B**. Using participants to recruit other participants.<br />19. **C**. Judgmental sampling.<br />20. **A**. Randomly.<br />21. **B**. Stratified random sampling.<br />22. **B**. A non-probability sampling method where researchers select individuals based on pre-specified characteristics, unlike probability sampling where selection is random. Quota sampling aims to create a sample that reflects the characteristics of the population, but it doesn't guarantee every member has an equal chance of selection.<br />
