Probability Sampling

The document discusses probability sampling techniques used in quantitative research. It defines probability sampling as selecting a sample from a population in a random manner, where each member has an equal chance of selection. The document describes various probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic sampling. It provides examples of how each method works and its advantages in obtaining reliable estimates about the target population.

PROBABILITY SAMPLING

OBJECTIVES
• Describe probability sampling.
• Identify and explain different
types of probability sampling.
• Illustrate the different probability
sampling techniques.
• Recognize the importance of using
probability sampling in research.
PROBABILITY SAMPLING
•Probability sampling refers to the
selection of a sample from a
population, when this selection is
based on the principle of
randomization, that is, random
selection or chance.
PROBABILITY SAMPLING
DISADVANTAGE:
Probability sampling is more complex, more time-
consuming and usually more costly than non-
probability sampling.

ADVANTAGE:
Units from the population are randomly selected and
each unit’s selection probability can be calculated,
reliable estimates can be produced and statistical
inferences can be made about the population.

Activity5: Sampling method through
illustration
Probability Sampling in Quantitative
Research
It is a way of choosing individuals
in which all members of the
accessible population are given an
equal chance to be selected. There
are various ways of obtaining
samples through simple random
sampling. These are fish bowl
technique, roulette wheel, or use of
the table of random numbers.
Probability Sampling in Quantitative
Research
• Stratified Random Sampling. The same
with simple random sampling, stratified
random sampling also gives an equal
chance to all members of the population to
be chosen.
• The population is first divided into strata
or groups before selecting the samples.
The samples are chosen from these
subgroups and not directly from the entire
population. This procedure is best used
when the variables of the study are also
grouped into classes such as gender and
grade level.
Probability Sampling in Quantitative Research
EXAMPLE
A population of 600 Junior High School students includes
180 Grade 7, 160 Grade 8, 150 Grade 9, and 110 Grade 10.
If the computed sample size is 240, the following
proportionate sampling will be as follows.
Probability Sampling in Quantitative
Research
1. The number of members per
subgroup is divided by the total
accessible sample size.
2. The percentage result of
members per subgroup will be
multiplied from the computed
total sample size.
3. After obtaining the sample size
per strata, then simple random
sampling will be done for the
selection of samples from each
group.

Research
Cluster Sampling. This procedure is usually
applied in large-scale studies, geographical
spread out of the population is a
challenge, and gathering information will
be very time-consuming.
Similar to stratified random sampling,
cluster sampling also involves grouping of
the population according to subgroups or
clusters. It is a method where multiple
clusters of people from the chosen
population will be created by the
researcher in order to have homogenous
characteristics.
Single Stage Cluster Sampling
double-stage cluster
sampling

Research
Systematic Sampling. This procedure is as
simple as selecting samples every nth
(example every 2nd, 5th) of the chosen
population until arriving at a desired total
number of sample size. Therefore the
selection is based on a predetermined
interval.
Dividing the population size by the sample
size, the interval will be obtained. For
example, from a total population of 12, you
have 4 samples; using systematic sampling,
you will decide to select every 3rd person on
the list of individuals.
Activity 6. Determine the
Sampling Procedure

•Directions: Identify the sampling procedure


used in each given situation and then briefly
explain your choice.
Sample Situation Sampling Justification
Procedure

1. Alex’s target population for


his study are the employees of
hotels in Mindanao. Since there
are too many employees in
these establishments, he
randomly selected ten hotels
based on Hotel size. And then
he randomly selected employees
as participants in his study.

2. Dianne wants to know if the


new learning modalities in the
first semester affects the
academic performance of senior
high students. He took all the
lists of all students in her
school and selected every 6th
name to be part of her study.

3. Faye wants to survey all the


parents in Cagayan de Oro who
opt to enroll their elementary
children to an online class. All
in all there 26,000 parents.
Faye decided to have 380 from
the target population.
