Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The researcher is using systematic sampling, which involves selecting every nth individual from a list. In this case, the researcher is selecting every other individual, so the sampling is systematic. Random number table sampling involves using a table of randomly generated numbers to select participants, sample of convenience involves selecting participants who are easily accessible, and a census involves collecting data from the entire population, not just a subset of individuals. None of these methods apply to the researcher's method of selecting every other individual from the list.
