2 types of sampling

1. Probability sampling
2. Non probability sampling

Probability Sampling
-In probability sampling, every individual in the population have equal chance of
being selected as a subject for the research.
This method guarantees that the selection process is completely randomized and
without bias.

1. Probability sampling techniques:


•simple random sampling
•systematic sampling
•Stratified sampling

Basic example of probability sampling:

-The most basic example of probability sampling is listing all the names of the
individuals in the population in separate pieces of paper, and then drawing a
number of papers one by one from the complete collection of names.

Advantage of using probability sampling


- The advantage of using probability sampling is the accuracy of the statistical
methods after the experiment. It can also be used to estimate the population
parameters since it is representative of the entire population. It is also a reliable
method to eliminate sampling bias.

Systematic sampling:
-Systematic sampling is also called an Nth name selection technique. After the
required sample size has been calculated, every Nth record is selected from a list of
population members.

Advantage of systematic sampling:


-is simplicity. Systematic sampling is frequently used to select a specified number of
records from a computer file

Stratified Random sampling:


-
Stratified sampling is a probability sampling technique wherein the researcher
divides the entire population into different subgroups or strata, then randomly
selects the final subjects proportionally from the different strata.

Types of stratified random sampling:


1.
Advantage of Stratified Random sampling:
-The main advantage with stratified sampling is how it captures key population
characteristics in the sample. Stratified sampling works well for populations with a
variety of attributes, but is otherwise ineffective, as subgroups cannot be formed.

A-Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling


The sample size of each stratum in this technique is proportionate to the population
size of the stratum when viewed against the entire population. This means that the
each stratum has the same sampling fraction.

For example, you have 3 strata with 100, 200 and 300 population sizes respectively.
And the researcher chose a sampling fraction of ½. Then, the researcher must
randomly sample 50, 100 and 150 subjects from each stratum respectively.

Stratum A B C

Population Size 100 200 300

Sampling Fraction ½ ½ ½

Final Sample Size 50 100 150

The important thing to remember in this technique is to use the same sampling
fraction for each stratum regardless of the differences in population size of the
strata.

2. Disproportionate Stratified random sampling:


The only difference between proportionate and disproportionate stratified random
sampling is their sampling fractions. With disproportionate sampling, the different
strata have different sampling fractions. Precision of this design is highly dependent
on the sampling fraction allocation of the researcher. If the researcher commits
mistakes in allotting sampling fractions, a stratum may either be overrepresented or
underrepresented which will result in skewed results.

3. A cluster sampling

-cluster sample is obtained by selecting clusters from the population on the basis of
simple random sampling.

The area or cluster sample is a variation of the simple random sample that is
particularly appropriate when the population of interest is infinite, when a list of the
members of the population does not exist.
