Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The population is all the elements (individuals, objects, or substances) that meet certain criteria for inclusion in a given universe. The researcher must determine which population is accessible and can be best represented by the study sample. A sample is a subset of the population that is selected for a particular study. Being a subset, the sample is either smaller than the population or, very occasionally, equal in size to it; it cannot be larger.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When conducting a quantitative study, the researcher attempts to use the most precise instruments available to measure the study variables.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
