____________________ 3. A researcher interviewed people from each town in the province of Albay for his research on
population.
____________________ 4. A researcher is doing a research work on the students’ reaction to the newly implemented
curriculum in mathematics and interviewed every 10th student entering the gate of the school.
____________________ 5. A researcher who is studying the effect of educational attainment on promotion conducted a
survey of 50 randomly selected workers from each of these categories: high school graduate, with undergraduate degrees,
with master’s degree, and with doctoral degree.
____________________ 6. A researcher selected a sample of n = 120 from a population of 850 by using the Table of
Random Numbers.
____________________ 7. A researcher interviewed all top 10 Grade 11 students in each of 15 randomly selected private
schools in Metro Manila.
____________________ 8. A researcher randomly selected 10 barangays in a town for her study. She did this by writing the

__________ 3. Cluster sampling involves the selection of every kth element in the population until the desired number of
elements in the sample is obtained.
__________ 4. Stratified sampling is a sampling technique in which the population is first divided into strata and then
samples are randomly selected separately from each stratum.
__________ 5. A systematic sampling is sampling technique in which a list of elements of the population is used as a
sampling frame and the elements to be included in the desired sample are selected by skipping through the list at regular
intervals.
__________ 6. The normal curve measures how many standard deviation a given value (x) is above or below the mean.
__________ 7. The normal distribution is the most important of all continuous probability distribution.
__________ 8. The area between the curve and the horizontal axis is exactly equal to 1.
__________ 9. The normal curve is a heart-shaped curve.
__________ 10. The half area is above the mean and the remaining half is below the mean.
Goodluck!
