The post by Lacie Gordon on manage discussion entry gives an analysis of how
surveying of the individuals give allowance for the trends, beliefs and mental outlook for
quantitative analysis. According to the post, randomization is chosen as a way to control the
experiment for the access of factors in studying the results of the study. The post states that the
nonrandom sampling technique gives the name “quasi-experiment” meaning the participants are
not chosen in a random way and therefore, the probability of being chosen is very minimal. In
the post, the fact on non-sampling being often chosen since it is convenience fulfills the quotas
of the researchers (Parker, 2011). Lacie Gordon in the post states clearly that samples are
essential since they categories results in an impartial research. The post gives the general
individual inclusions such as groups and features equally viewed. Based on the post, pretesting,
field testing and pilot testing are very necessary for demonstration of content validity and their
scores. Reflecting on the post non-response type of bias occurs in the case whereby the
contributors do not respond to the questionnaire (Morgan, 2014). And lastly, every person’s life
has an understanding that we are not equal. This is well illustrated by the fact that different
people have different height, weight, and age and therefore its responsibility of the researchers
determine the disparities ways of measuring the data.

The Tara Thomas post on manages discussion entry gives support for a better
understanding of the how quantitative and qualitative methods are applied in the research sector.
The post gives that analysis of differences between the nonrandomized and randomized approach
of sampling in population. It also discusses the role played by sampling technique when
