Sampling Introduction

This document discusses different sampling methods used in research. It defines a sample as a subset of a population that is selected to represent the whole population. Probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, systematic sampling, and multistage sampling aim to give all population elements an equal chance of selection. Non-probability sampling methods like convenience sampling and snowball sampling do not give all population members an equal chance and selection depends on accessibility. The document outlines the key characteristics and processes involved in different sampling designs.

SAMPLE
• It is a Unit that selected from population

• Representers of the population

• Purpose to draw the inference


It is very easy and convenient to draw the sample from
homogenous population
The population having significant variations (Heterogeneous), observation of multiple individual needed to find all
possible characteristics that may exist

Types of Probability Sampling

Simple Random Sampling

Stratified Sampling

Cluster Sampling

Systematic Sampling

Multistage Sampling
Simple Random Sampling

The purest form of probability sampling

Assures each element in the population


has an equal chance of being included in
the sample

Random number generators


Stratified Random Sampling

Population is divided into two or more


groups called strata, according to some
criterion, such as geographic location,
grade level, age, or income, and subsamples
are randomly selected from each strata.

Elements within each strata are


homogeneous, but are heterogeneous
across strata
Stratified Random Sampling
Cluster Sampling

The population is divided into subgroups


(clusters) like families. A simple random
sample is taken of the subgroups and then all
members of the cluster selected are surveyed.
Systematic Random Sampling

Order all units in the sampling frame based on


some variable and then every nth number on the
list is selected

Gaps between elements are equal and Constant


There is periodicity.

N= Sampling Interval
Systematic Random Sampling
Multistage Random Sampling

Multistage sampling refers to sampling plans


where the sampling is carried out in stages
using smaller and smaller sampling units at
each stage.

Not all Secondary Units Sampled normally


used to overcome problems associated with a
geographically dispersed population
Non Probability Sampling

Involves non random methods in selection of


sample

All have not equal chance of being selected

Selection depend upon situation

Considerably less expensive

Convenient

Sample chosen in many ways


Types of Non probability
Sampling
 Purposive Sampling

 Quota sampling (larger populations)

Snowball sampling

Self-selection sampling

Convenience sampling
