directional hypothesis - Answer States the positive or negative change, relationship, or
difference between two variables

stratified random sampling - Answer a random selection of study participants from two or
more levels of the population
cluster sampling - Answer a method of sampling in which a sizable group is divided into
consecutive subsampling of smaller units; a stale of sampling in which groups are randomly
selected
systematic random sampling - Answer the selection of research study participants such that
each nth individual (or facet) in a sampling frame is selected
convenience sampling - Answer the process of selecting individuals to be in the sample who
are accessible and/or who volunteer (accidental sampling)
quota sampling - Answer a nonrandom selection of participants by which the researcher
identifies different properties and/or characteristics that are used to establish the sample and
determine the sample size for the groups to increase their representations
