Data Gathering Methods and Sampling

The document discusses various methods for gathering data and sampling populations, including interviews, surveys, random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, and convenience sampling. Random sampling involves giving each member of the population an equal chance of being selected, while systematic sampling selects every nth member from a list. Stratified sampling divides the population into relevant groups or strata first before sampling. Convenience sampling simply selects samples by accessibility or availability.

Sampling Methods
SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING
Definepopulation (N): 31
Choose your sample size (n): 12
List of population and assign number: 1 to N
Divide (N/n): 31/12 = 2.58 (3)
Select your sample: Ancheta, Cawaling, Dilag, Espinar,
Magsino, Mendoza Paming, Peñaflor, Romulo, Sayaman,
Agoot,Bawar
STRATIFIED SAMPLING
Define population (N): 160
Define the strata (G): IT 3-1: 42; IT 3-2: 37; IT 3-3: 31; IT 3-
4: 26; IT 3-5: 24
Choose your sample size (n): 50
List of population and assign number: 1 to G per strata
Calculate (sample size of strata = size of n / pop’n size *
layer size):
IT 3-1: 50 / 160 * 42 = 13
IT 3-4: 50 / 160 * 26 = 8
IT 3-2: 50 / 160 * 37 = 12
IT 3-5: 50 / 160 * 24 = 8
IT 3-3: 50 / 160 * 31 = 10
Use random, systematic sampling, or convenience
sampling.
CONVENIENCE SAMPLING
Define population (N): 160
Choose your sample size (n): 50
Distribute the questionnaire until you get(n)respondents.
