| Pragmatism | Problem-solving that relates to everyday concerns. William James distinguished 'knowledge of' and 'knowledge about'. |
| Praxeology | An attempt to establish a nomothetic science of human action where value is seen as individual preference and quantitative prediction is inaccurate and should be about the prediction of patterns that we see through 'imaginary constructions'. |
| Probability sample | Type of sample in which every individual in the population has a known, nonzero, chance of being selected in the sample. |
| Probability Sampling | Any sampling scheme in which the probability of choosing each individual is the same (or at least known, so it can be readjusted mathematically to be equal). Also called random sampling. Probability samples are more costly to obtain, but are more accurate, and they allow the researcher to calculate the amount of error she can expect. There are three major kinds of probability sampling: simple random sampling (SRS), stratified sampling, and cluster sampling. |
| Proposal | Proposal adalah suatu tulisan yang dikerjakan untuk mengajukan suatu permohonan kepada lembaga atau pimpinan mengenai suatu pekerjaan atau acara yang akan dilakukan di lembaga tersebut, tujuannya untuk memberikan informasi mengenai hal apa saja yang akan dilakukan dalam suatu acara tersebut.
