and Sciences students from the University of the Cordilleras
II.
Population
The area of the study is in the University of the Cordilleras. The choice
of the area was for proximity and to ensure effective distribution and
collection of data through the use of a questionnaire. The population of
this study comprises the entire population of third year College of Arts
and Sciences students from the University of the Cordilleras.
The population figure of third year CAS students within the campus is
two hundred twenty two (222). The population was derived from
various faculties.
The sample size is 35 representing a percentage of 15.77% of the total
population third year CAS students.

Collection of data
The researchers adopted the simple random sampling method which was
employed to derive responses from a sample size of 35 third year CAS
students of the Cordilleras who were selected via random sampling
techniques. Simple random sampling is a method of drawing a sample from
the population so that each member of the population is given an equal and
independent chance of being selected.
The area of the study is in the University of the Cordilleras. The choice of the
area was for proximity and to ensure effective distribution and collection of
data through the use of a questionnaire. The population of this study
comprises the entire population of third year College of Arts and Sciences
students from the University of the Cordilleras.
The population figure of third year CAS students within the campus is two
hundred twenty two (222). The population was derived from various
faculties.
The sample size is 35 representing a percentage of 15.77% of the total
population of third year CAS students.
The instrument for data collection was a self constructed questionnaire. It
was titled Preferred Social Media Sites among Third Year CAS Students. The
questionnaire consists of only one page which was divided into six columns.
Column 1 contains the questions which were formulated by the researchers
to guide the study. The remaining five columns are the various networking
sites used by the respondents to choose from basing on the questions
provided.
35 copies of the questionnaires were personally floated and collected by the
researchers to ensure an accurate return rate. The 35 respondents
completed and returned the questionnaire correctly representing 100%
response rate.
The researchers then gathered all the data and analyzed it. They used mean
scores (X) to analyze each item in the questionnaire and made use of a
frequency distribution table. A frequency distribution is a table that displays
the frequency of various outcomes in given sample. Each entry in the table
contains the frequency or count of the occurrences of values within a
particular group or interval and in this way the table summarizes the
distribution of values in the sample. The researchers calculated all the
answers and tallied one by one to know the results, and then made a table.
The researchers also used margin of error. The margin of error expresses the
maximum expected differences between the true population parameters and
a sample estimate of that parameter.
