Question

A researcher selects a sample of participants to test for differences in employment rates among part-time and full-time teachers. Because there are many more women in teaching jobs than men, the researcher selected more women than men for her study to ensure that it represented the actual distribution of men and women teachers in the job sector. Which type of quota sampling was used in this example

Answer 1

Answer: proportionate

Explanation:

Proportional quota sampling is when the total number of people that are to be surveyed are decided in advance. This form of sampling is usually used in opinion polls and surveys.

Since due to the fact that there are many more women in teaching jobs than men, the researcher selected more women than men for her study to ensure that it represented the actual distribution of men and women teachers in the job, then this was decided in advance and indicates the proportionate quota sampling.
