Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

When collecting and analyzing data, sociologists must decide which

population persons about whom we want to be able to draw conclusions

will be observed or questioned. Then it is necessary to select a sample of

people from the larger population to be studied. It is important that the sample

accurately represent the larger population. For example, if you arbitrarily

selected five students from your sociology class to interview, they probably

would not be representative of your school's total student body. However, if

you selected five students from the total student body by a random sample,

they might be closer to being representative. In random sampling, every

member of an entire population being studied has the same chance of being

selected. For example, you would have a more representative sample of the

total student body if you placed all the students' names in a rotating drum and

conducted a drawing.
