What Is Sampling?: Deliberate, Purposive or Judgement Sampling

Uploaded by

Sampling is a process used in statistical analysis where a predetermined number of observations are taken from a larger population. There are different types of sampling methods including random sampling where every member has an equal chance, and systematic sampling where individuals are chosen at regular intervals. Population size refers to the total number in the population being studied, while sample size is the minimum number needed to estimate the true population proportion within a given margin of error and confidence level.

What is sampling?

Ans.

Sampling is a process used in statistical analysis in which a predetermined number of observations


are taken from a larger population. The methodology used to sample from a larger population
depends on the type of analysis being performed, but it may include simple random sampling or
systematic sampling.

Type of sampling methods.

Ans.

 Deliberate, purposive or judgement sampling- also referred to as judgmental sampling or


authoritative sampling, is a non-probability sampling technique where the researcher
selects units to be sampled based on his own existing knowledge, or his
professional judgment
 Block or cluster sampling- Cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique where
researchers divide the population into multiple groups (clusters) for research.
 Area sampling-- Area sampling is a method of sampling used when no complete frame of
reference is available. 
 Quota sampling -Quota sampling is defined as a non-probability sampling method in which
researchers create a sample involving individuals that represent a population.
 Random sampling- Every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
Your sampling frame should include the whole population.
 Systematic sampling- Is similar to simple random sampling, but it is usually slightly easier to
conduct. Every member of the population is listed with a number, but instead of randomly
generating numbers, individuals are chosen at regular intervals.
 Stratified sampling- Involves dividing the population into subpopulations that may differ in
important ways. It allows you draw more precise conclusions by ensuring that every
subgroup is properly represented in the sample.
 Multi stage sampling- Multistage sampling is defined as a sampling method that divides the
population into groups (or clusters) for conducting research
 Sequential sampling - Sequential sampling is a non-probability sampling technique wherein
the researcher picks a single or a group of subjects in a given time interval, conducts his
study, analyses the results then pick another group of subjects if needed and so on.

What is population size and what is sample size?


Ans.

Population size

This is the total number of distinct individuals in your population.  In this formula we use a finite
population correction to account for sampling from populations that are small.  

Sample size

This is the minimum sample size you need to estimate the true population proportion with the required
margin of error and confidence level.
