Excellent!

Thanks so much guys (and gals?). I truly do appreciate the help, its nice to be able to bounce things off of people or hear other feedback re: stats. Especially when you are in a field where stats and quantitative stuff is not exactly the big thing shall we say

.

Aaron, I can't say enough, you have been a BIG help. Thank you for that!

FF - ha, thanks for the "encouragement"

. Anyways, those links are awesome...

DeanOMac - thanks for the input. I have chosen the 2 prof. associations myself (i.e. I chose province 'X' and province 'Y') to take a sample from. From these two provinces, I am going to take a simple random sample (I think roughly following Aaron's great info!). That said, could I still call it "simple random sampling", as long as I denote that provinces 'X' and 'Y' are my two sampling cohorts? Or am what I doing technically called stratified random sampling? I know its splicing hairs, but....

Thoughts?
