In a sampling design, where every Kth case is selected from a random starting point with the value K kept constant throughout, is an example of \(\_\_\_\_\_\).
In a sampling design, where every Kth case is selected from a random starting point with the value K kept constant throughout, is an example of \(\_\_\_\_\_\).
Show Hint
- Convenient sampling
- Systematic sampling
- Stratified sampling
- Cluster sampling
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Systematic sampling is a probability sampling technique where a random starting point is chosen, and every kth element is selected from the population.
Key points: 1. The sampling interval k is kept constant throughout. 2. This method ensures that the sample is evenly distributed over the population.
Thus, the correct answer is (B) Systematic sampling.

The narrator's use of 'I' in the given passage is/are: I have never been any good at the more lurid sort of writing. Psychopathic killers, impotent war-heroes, self-tortured film stars, and seedy espionage agents must exist in the world, but strangely enough I do not come across them, and I prefer to write about the people and places I have known and the lives of those whose paths I have crossed. This crossing of paths makes for stories rather than novels, and although I have worked in both mediums, I am happier being a short-story writer than a novelist.

Which of the statement(s) about the passage weaken(s) the argument presented? Scientists associate large brains with greater intelligence. However, in the evolutionary context it has also been identified that beyond a point, the size of the brain has not increased and yet after a particular period, in spite of no significant change in brain size humans have made significant progress. Certain researchers propose that this is because, while the overall brain size may not have changed, marked structural changes can be noticed in specific structures that run parallel to an increase in human intelligence.

Read the passage and identify the statement(s) which follow(s) from it: The purpose of this work is to inform educators about the brain science related to emotion and learning, and, more important, to offer strategies to apply these understandings to their own teaching. Although many of the approaches I describe will be familiar, integrating the lens of emotion and the brain may be a new concept. As an educator I had been trained in how to deliver content and organize my lessons, but I had not been taught how to design learning experiences that support emotions for learning.
