-Provide the rationale for your answer.
-Identify the appropriate representation for the research study article you selected using the nomenclature of X for intervention, O for observation and data collection, and R for random a assignment to a research study group.
-Identify the type of sampling (probability vs. nonprobability) that was used in the research study article you selected.
-Identify one advantage and one disadvantage to the sampling type used (probability vs. nonprobability).

With the focus on qualitative design and sampling, this is a great opportunity to compare and contrast quantitative and qualitative research approaches. For each of the following areas, apply information that considers one advantage and one disadvantage regarding
-control over study conditions with the quantitative research approach;
-control over study conditions with the qualitative research approach;
-extending or generalizing results from a sample to a larger group or population with
- the quantitative research approach; and extending or generalizing results from a sample to a larger group or population with the qualitative research approach.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
