You are conducting a patient satisfaction survey in your outpatient clinic using interviewers administer a questionnaire. Because you typically see about 300 people per day in the clinic, decide to have the interviewers administer the questionnaire on every tenth patient. You using

  1. systematic sampling.
  2. stratified sampling.
  3. variable sampling.
  4. convenience sampling.

Answer(s): A



You and your colleague are designing a study to try to determine the ideal mean cost for discretionary service. You will market your service to a very large population. Your colleague thinks you will get the best data if you take lots of small samples. You think the data will be neat reliable if you take one or two very large samples.

  1. Your colleague is right--the mean of multiple samples will yield more reliable results.
  2. You are right--the means of a few large samples will yield more reliable results.
  3. You are equally correct--there is little difference in the reliability of these sampling methods.
  4. You are equally wrong--unles you use stratified sampling, you cannot expect reliable

Answer(s): B



A researcher has repeated the same study 10 times. Each time the study is repeated, the p value decreases. As the p value approaches zero, the

  2. value of the study decreases.
  3. chance that the results are due to a sampling error decreases.
  4. chance that the results are due to a sampling error, increases.

  2. selection bias.
  3. interviewer bias.
  4. nonresponse bias.

Answer(s): D



The researchers at AHIMA had professionals with 5 or more years HIM experience rate their stress on a scale of 1 to 5, as shown in the chart above. Job satisfaction and job stress are both continuous variables. If the AHIMA researchers want to assess both the direction and degree of the relationship between these two continuous variables, they may choose to compute the

  1. variable correlation coefficient.
  2. Pearson correlation coefficient.
  3. continuous correlation coefficient.
  4. Danbury correlation coefficient.
