...of data collection for a selected product/service. The selected product that I will be collecting data for is an anti-depression medication made my HML (Hutchinsons Medical Limited). The data collecting method I’ve chosen is face to face interviews in order to get the respondents full attention and collect data without any distractions. I intend on finding out the respondent’s age, whether they suffer from depression/anxiety, whether they take medication for their depression/anxiety, and which form of our product they would prefer to purchase (roll on, cream, liquid, pills). The sampling method that I chose was probability sampling. I chose this method because it means everyone gets the chance to be picked meaning that the results will represent the whole group of interest. Another example of the fairness in this method is someone reaching into a box full of names and picking one out. The selection process ensures that everyone has a chance of winning. The advantages are that it’s not bias and as aforementioned it represents the whole group of interest. The results can also be used to calculate any further statistical analysis. I rejected non random sampling as it’s an unfair selection process as you get to pick people which makes in an unequal selection process. The people that are picked out might not represent the rest of the group and unlike probability sampling you can’t use the results to calculate any further statistical analysis. Unlike probability sampling, this process...

...Module 3 1.In going through the plan it is my observation that the plan lacks in testing some areas, specifically the sales revenue and accounts receivable. Via info from the previous module we know there is no pre numbering for bills of lading and no other method to which these are accounted for. There are several things that could result from this weakness. We can conclude that there may be discrepancies in items shipped and items billed to customers. As well because of a lack of numerical reference, sampling can have a lack of effectiveness. () 2 & 3. (Refer to Attached Excel Document) 4. Upon analyzing the sampling results, it could be said that when it comes to cases of missing bills of lading there is significant evidence provided to conclude that because of the outlying beyond the allowable deviation, there has to be an unallowable amount of billings without shipment. I think these results would lead a skeptical auditor to conclude that there is possible inflation of earnings via conjured up sales recordings. () Module 4 1.The objective of performing this test is to determine if the factory equipment accounts are materially unstable or overstated from misclassification of certain items pertaining to regular maintenance. The unit being sampled here would be the all of the amounts debited to the factory equipment accounts (ie. the dollar amount). The population would be the total debits of $12,600,000, this is what is left after ($89860000-$772600000). By...

...Qualitative Research in Nursing Date of last revision : January 28, 2011 “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts” -Albert Einstein INTRODUCTION • Qualitative research methods have become increasingly important as ways of developing nursing knowledge for evidence-based nursing practice. Qualitative research answers a wide variety of questions related to nursing's concern with human responses to actual or potential health problems. (Ploeg J, 1999) • Qualitative research is a type of scientific research which has its roots in philosophy and human sciences. • Qualitative research plays an important part in providing evidence for practice in nursing, and is gaining greater acceptance within medicine. (Bailey C, 2002) • Definition: "A quantitative approach is one in which the investigator primarily uses post-positivist claims for developing knowledge (i.e. cause and effect thinking, reduction to specific variables and hypotheses and questions, use of measurement and observation, and the test of theories)." (Creswell, 2003) • Qualitative research is used to gain insight into people's attitudes, behaviours, value systems, concerns, motivations, aspirations, culture or lifestyles. • Qualitative researchers aim to gather an in-depth understanding of human behavior and the reasons that govern such behavior. • Qualitative research is often associated with naturalistic inquiry. • Naturalistic methods of inquiry attempt...
