Q: What is a sampling plan?
ANSWER ✔✔ Defines the process of making the sample selection.
Q: What is a sample in research?
ANSWER ✔✔ Denotes the selected group of people or elements included in a study.
Q: What is a population in research?
ANSWER ✔✔ A particular group of people (e.g., people who have had a myocardial infarction)

ANSWER ✔✔ The accuracy with which population parameters have been estimated within a
study.
Q: What is random variation?
ANSWER ✔✔ The expected difference in values when examining different subjects from the
same sample.
Q: What is systematic variation (systematic bias)?
ANSWER ✔✔ The result of selecting subjects whose measurement values systematically differ

Q: What is randomization in research?
ANSWER ✔✔ The process in which each individual in the population has a greater than zero
chance of being selected for the sample.
Q: What is a control group?
ANSWER ✔✔ The group in a study that does not receive the treatment.
