Now you will build optimal and adjusted probability sampling plans for your research question.

Step 1: Determine which of the following applies to you:

 If your optimal sampling plan is a probability sample → use your research question to build a probability sampling plan.

 If your optimal sampling plan is a nonprobability sample → identify one or two sub-questions related to your research question that could be addressed using a probability sample (i.e., that relates to individual attribute data).

Step 2: Select the optimal probability sampling plan (simple random, stratified random, or cluster). Justify your decision.

Step 3: Describe your optimal plan for recruiting participants. If your optimal sampling plan was a stratified random sample, identify the main demographic contrasts you think will be important (e.g., ethnicity/race or socioeconomic status). Justify your decision.

Step 4: Consider your time and resource constraints in this class. Adjust the probability sampling plan you will use for your class project. Justify your decision. Explain how this will limit the accuracy of your conclusions.

Step 5: Describe how you plan to adjust recruiting participants you will use for your class project (when you conduct survey research). Explain how this will limit the accuracy of your conclusions.
