List I List II Sampling techniques used in research Description A. Simple random sampling I. The units are identified in terms of various specific features identified before drawing a sample structure B. Systematic sampling II. Each unit is given an equal independent chance of being picked up C. Dimensional sampling III. The k – interval is obtained by N/n and the units are drawn using the same, where N is population size and n is desired sample size. D. Snowball sampling IV. First member unit is used to identify the second unit and so on Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A

A - I, B - IV, C - II, D - III

B

A - II, B - III, C - I, D - IV

C

A - IV, B - II, C - III, D - I

Assertion (A): A reasonably sized sample drawn randomly from large sized population contains almost all the characteristics which exist in the population.
Reason (R): The theory of sampling is based on the two important laws of statistics, viz law of statistical regularity and law of inertia of large numbers.

A

B

Both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

C

(A) is not correct, while (R) is correct

D

Both (A) and (R) are not correct
