    1. Probability sampling is preferred over non-probability sampling because it allows all samples to have an equal chance of being selected, making the results more accurate and representative of the overall population. A simple random sample involves defining the population, determining sample size, randomly selecting samples, and collecting data from participants. 2. Random sampling represents a group selected from a larger population by chance, giving all candidates an equal chance of being selected, which produces results more likely to reflect the larger group. 3. Stratified random sampling is appropriate when a population is not homogeneous, to obtain a more representative sample. The population is divided into homogeneous strata, then items are randomly selected from each stratum to constitute the overall sample,

    1. Why probability sampling is generally preferred in comparison to non-probability


    sampling? Explain the procedure of selecting a simple random sample.
    In probability sampling all the samples have equal chances of been selected compared
    to non-probability based on researcher’s basis but also its which is cost effective and
    simple which doesn’t involve complicated process.
    Steps:
    a. Define population – one has to decide which population has to study which gives access
    to access to individuals so that to collect data from the selected samples.
    b. Decide on sample size – you get to decide the size of the location you chose and narrow
    down to choose where to choose and calculate the sample using deviation.
    c. Randomly select your sample – select where you randomly choose which sample to
    choose from the size of your sample made.
    d. Collect data from your sample - To ensure the validity of your findings, you need to
    make sure every individual selected actually participates in your study. If some drop out
    or do not participate for reasons associated with the question that you’re studying, this
    could bias your findings.
    2.  Explain and illustrate the procedure of selecting a random sample
     This is form of sampling that represent group of research selected from larger group
    by chance. This where by all the candidates participating in the sample have equal
    chances by accordance to the research done.
     This would produce findings that are likely to be represented and applicable in
    larger group making the results of the sample much more close to accurate.
    3. Under what circumstances stratified random sampling design is considered
    appropriate? How would you select such a sample? Explain by means of an example
     Stratified sampling technique is generally applied in order to obtain a
    representative sample, if a population from which a sample is to be drawn does
    not constitute a homogeneous group
     The population is divided into several sub-populations that are individually more
    homogeneous than the total population (the different sub populations are called
    ‘’strata) Then we select items from each stratum to constitute a sample. Since
    each stratum is more homogeneous than the total population, we are able to get
    more precise estimates for each stratum and by estimating more accurately each
    of the component parts, we get a better estimate of the whole .
     Good example is population that is pulled from rural and urban and able to find
    accurate data.
