Research Week 9 Population and Sample

There are two types of population used in
research: target population and accessible

population. The target population is the actual
population, for example: All STE students enrolled
in Pililla National High School.
Accesible population is a portion of the
population in which the researcher has
reasonable access, for example all the STE
students enrolled in Grade 8 at Pililla National
High School.
-pertains to the systematic process of
selecting the group to be analyzed in
the research study.
- in research it refers to the method or
procedures of choosing respondents
to answer the question.
1. Probability Sampling
-This kind of sampling requires
a researcher to have a list of
your target respondents
focused on your study.
-this sampling provides an
equal chance of participation
in the selection process
given to every member listed
in the sampling frame. As a
researcher always remember
that the smaller the sample
is, the higher chance of
2. Non- probability Sampling
-It disregards random selection
of respondents. According to
Edmond (2013), the subjects
are chosen based on the
availability or the purpose of
the study, in some cases it is
the discretion of the researcher.
-uses a pure chance selection process.
-runs from making a list of all respondents,
writing each name on the card, choosing
cards through a pure chance selection.
-uses any of the ff. ways: fish bowl technique,
roulette wheel, or table of random numbers.
Ex. Population: 30, sample: 15
-uses sampling interval that will be used as
quasi-random selection method.
-runs from determining sampling interval,
determining the number of population and
sample and computing for the sampling ratio.
Example: population:1500: sample: 150
150/1500 = 0.1 x 100 = 10%. The sampling
interval is 10
- is used in a study needing group- by-group
analysis.
- divides population according to strata or
groups before selecting samples.
Example: group the population according to
age, gender, etc.
- samples economically while retaining the
characteristics of a probability sample.
- runs through multiple clusters of people
from the chosen population will be created
to have homogenous characteristics.
Example: population: 1000; sample: 150
The researchers can randomly select at
least three (3) groups with 50 participants to
represent the sample.
- Is used when the researcher knows the
characteristics of the target population.
- Is used when the budget is tight and time is
limited for the study.
Example: population : 200 (100 males and
100 females)
Sample: 100 (25% males and 75%
females)
- is a sampling technique wherein the
subjects for the study are the ones
volunteering to be part of the sample.
- Has no selection process
Example: The researcher puts out a
request from the members of the population
to join the sample, and the people will
decide whether or not to be in sample.
- Is used when the researcher chooses the
people who are sure to correspond to the
objectives of the study.
- Example: The study is about choosing a
course in college. The researcher will
interview students who will pursue college
education.
- Is used when the researcher automatically includes
the persons who show willingness to participate in
the study.
- Also known as convenience sampling
- Example: A marketing student needs to get feedback
regarding the taste of a new variant of certain food
endorsed in the market.
- He can create an online survey, send a link to all
contacts on his phone, share the link in social
media, and talk to people he met on a daily basis.
- Does not give a specific set of samples.
- Is used for a study involving unspecified group of people.
- Example: A researcher is conducting a study among
homeless Badjao families in Bataan. The first homeless
Badjao family he met will be the primary data. The
researcher can collect data from other homeless Badjao
families who are referred by the first Badjao family.
Referral of other homeless Badjao family may continue
until the researcher completed the number of Badjao
families he will include in the study.
Directions: Identify the sampling procedure used in each
given situation. Give a brief justification for your answer.
Sample Situation Sampling Justification
Procedure
1. Richard’s target population for his study is the
employees in these establishments, he randomly
selected two (2) hotels and considered all its
employees as participants in his study.
2. Rina wants to know if the new learning

modalities in the semester affect the academic
performance of senior high students. He listed all
students in her school and selected every 6th name
to be part of her study.
3. Luis wants to survey all the parents in Bataan

who opt to enroll their senior high school children
to an online class. All in one there are 30, 000
parents. Luis decided to have 450 from the target
population.
Directions: Answer each question briefly. Write your
answers on a separate paper.
1. How do population differs with sample?
2. How will you differentiate two types of sampling

techniques?
3. Describe each type of sampling technique in your own

words.
