In Ch. 6, Frankfort-Nachmias and Leon-Guerrero (2018) explore various aspects related to sampling. Explore the aims of sampling and types of probability sampling. Then refer to your own mock study topic and variables identified in Week 1.
Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:
What types of sampling do you think would be most appropriate for your study? Why?
How does sample size affect the validity of a study?
Include your own experience as well as 2 citations that align with or contradict your comments as sourced from peer-reviewed academic journals, industry publications, books, and/or other sources.
Review your classmates’ initial post and provide additional information and/or insights related to the examples they offered. You should respond to at least one classmate in a minimum of 150 words.
