Go and measure practicality

Hi,
I am not sure about the answer
  • Goal Orientation- Researcher sets a goal and to achieve that a goal objectives are specified. So sample should be designed in such a way that all objectives are achieved and hence the goal.
  • Measurability- Measurability is related to sample size i.e. sample size should not be large or too small it should be manageable or it may be related to different variables of sample. Those variables should be measurable.
  • Practicality – practicality is related to practicality of research i.e. it can be conducted on that sample.
  • Economy- Again economy will depend upon sample size. Larger the sample size larger the economy or vice versa. So while selecting sample researcher should keep this thing in mind.

The first three criteria say what I expected, there is something to be added in the last one though, you'll come to know about it soon.

I also wanted to know with what intention have you written the title of the post?
Is it to remember all the criteria of sampling design or just to make th e post title seem different?

If the intention was to make your post title seem different then it is perfectly fine.
