A. What is the appropriate sampling method?
B. What are the parameters of interest?
C. What size sample is needed?
D. What is the target population?
E. What is the sampling frame?
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is
D, B, E, A, C

Sampling Design Steps Ordered Logically

To effectively design a sampling strategy, the steps should be addressed in a logical sequence, answering key questions about the research context. Here's the correct order:

  1. D. What is the target population? This is the primary step, defining the entire group of individuals or items that the research aims to study or generalize about.
  2. B. What are the parameters of interest? Next, identify the specific characteristics or variables you intend to measure or analyze within the target population.
  3. E. What is the sampling frame? Determine the practical source or list from which the sample will actually be drawn. This frame should ideally represent the target population.
  4. A. What is the appropriate sampling method? Choose the technique (e.g., random, stratified, cluster, convenience) that will be used to select individuals from the sampling frame.
  5. C. What size sample is needed? Finally, calculate or decide the required number of participants or observations for the sample, considering factors like desired precision and resources.

Therefore, the correct sequence reflecting these questions is D, B, E, A, C.
