Imagine you want to gather information about the use of alcohol on your campus. You know that it is impossible to gain information from the entire school so you decide to collect a sample. What would be your sampling frame? Then write one reason why the quality of your sample is important to the generalizability of your results. How could you be confident that your sample is representative of the students at the entire school?
What will be an ideal response?
Sampling frame could be a list of students from the registrar's office. Sample is important for generalizability because the sample should be a representative of the population in order to make larger claims about the population. If the sample mimics the broader population, I can make sure it is representative.
