    The document discusses how different professionals can apply sampling in their work including a hospital director, director of food and drug administration, and microbiologist. It also discusses a study aiming to determine the prevalence of psychosocial problems among survivors of mining accidents in Benguet in 2017, noting the target population, sampling population, and potential bias due to difficulties interviewing all survivors.

    1.

    Give an example of how the following persons can apply sampling in their work:

    a. Hospital Director
    Evaluating the performance of health facilities.
    Assessing the status of health facilities.

    b. Director of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)


    Assessing the contents of the products before approval for the market.
    Household hazardous products sampling to determine safety of use.

    c. Microbiologist
    Oral cavity community-acquired bacteria in the far-flung area.
    A sampling of shellfish to determine the incidence of red tide.

    2. Suppose a researcher wishes to determine the prevalence of psychosocial


    problems among survivors of mining accidents in Benguet in 2017. Because of the
    difficulty of looking for and interviewing survivors in their homes, the researcher
    decided to conduct a mining company survey, and interview survivors who have gone
    back to work.

    a. What is the target population for this study?


    Survivors of Benguet mining accidents (2017)

    b. What is the sampling population based on the study design adopted by the
    researcher?
    Survivors from the Mining Company who have gone back to work

    c. Is there a gap between the target and the sampling populations?


    Yes, the difficulty of looking for and interviewing survivors in their homes.

    d. If your response to c) is yes, did this gap lead to a bias on the resulting estimate of
    the prevalence of psychosocial problems among survivors of mining accidents? If yes,
    what is the direction of this bias?
    The gap presented in the study may lead to a bias based on the eradication of the
    population of mining accident survivors. Individuals dropped from the sample could be
    different from those retained. The remaining participants can produce biases.
