I want to know about how you plan to implement this survey.

It sounds like you are doing a total shit job from the get go.. or this is a jr high assignment.

Im taking an SRS from all firefighters and policemen/women (full time jobs only) in contra costa country (my county) and then dropping off the survey, still need to work out kinks but thats the over all idea

How will you get a sampling frame? Are they going to give you a list of all the fire fighters and cops?

Simple Random Sampling,Cluster sampling, stratified sampling, data table sampling.

Thats about the only types of sampling I remember.

putting up fliers is NOT a random sample //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif It is a convenience sample and it is total shit.

I'm thinking homeland security might be upset if they were just giving out lists of all the police and firefighters //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
