Assignment Introduction:
In research, it is almost impossible to study the whole population. Instead, researchers get a sample of the population to make inferences about the variables in the study. For this assignment, you will prepare an in-service education presentation to new research coordinators for a healthcare organization based on types of sampling.

- Describe the sampling approach, the intent of the sampling approach, the procedure for selection of participants, and the potential biases for each type of sampling listed below:
- Simple random sampling
- Systematic sampling
- Stratified sampling
- Cluster sampling
- Convenience sampling
- Snowball sampling
- Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of at least two sampling techniques.
- Examine three data analysis tools from the following list:
- ANOVA Single Factor
- ANOVA Two Factor with Replication
- ANOVA Two Factor without Replication
- Correlation
- Covariance
- Descriptive Statistics
- Exponential Smoothing
- F-Test Two-Sample for Variances
- Histogram
- Rank and Percentile
- Regression
- t-Test Paired Two Sample Means
- Z-Test, Two Sample for Means
- Describe a healthcare example of the type of study used for each tool you selected.
