·          

Part 1: Sampling Design

Write a 350- to 700-word paper using the scenario and two variables your learning team developed for the Week 2 Business Research Project Part 1 assignment, (Independent and Dependent Variable The (IV)  independent variable; also referred to as the predictor variable is Public Image, and the (DV) dependent variable; synonymously referred to as the criterion variable is the Sales dollars.  Banana Inc. will monitor how the (IV) influences the (DV).) In which the goal is to submit a random sampling plan in such detail that another researcher could replicate the method.

Discuss the following: 

  • Population and size
  • The target population and brief reasoning
  • Sampling element which may be conducted through any of the following: 
    • Data mining
    • Survey (If a survey is chosen, create a 5-10 question document), or
    • Observation 
  • The sample size
  • Method of random sampling which may include: 
    • Simple
    • Stratified
    • Systematic
    • Cluster

Calculate the sample size for the mean or sample or sample size for the proportion, using a 95% confidence level, estimated population standard deviation or estimate of the true population proportion, and a 5% margin of error. Place the calculation in the Appendix.

Discuss how validity and reliability will be achieved.

If applicable, explain how human subjects will be protected.

 

Part 2: Data Collection
