Why is it important to understand sampling decisions specific to mixed methods research? Choose all that apply.

It's not important at all.

MMR involves the mixing of qualitative and quantitative research, therefore the sampling strategies may mix, increasing the complexity of sampling overall

The researcher hopes to be able to make both statistical and analytical generalizations

Sampling decisions require consideration of numerous factors and specific sampling strategies will be better suited to meet the needs of the MM study (e.g. Answer the research question, meet the research objectives, etc)

B, C and D

TRUE or FALSE. Sample size in mixed methods research does not matter, because the sample sizes used for the quantitative and qualitative components individually will balance out in the analysis once added up together.

True

False
