• The elements do not have a pre-determined chance of
being selected. In this method, samples are not picked
randomly.
• This is usually used when sampling frame is not
available.

sampling.
• The sample is selected from elements of a population that are
easily accessible.

JUDGMENTAL SAMPLING
Purposive Sampling
The researcher purposively selects those individuals who are
representative of the population.
MERITS
The investigator selects the sample on the basis on the basis of (i) It is less costly and more
his/her own judgment. readily accessible to the
researcher.
DEMERITS (ii) Purposive sampling
(i) introduces subjectivity in guarantees that those

element is typical of the population.

(iii) the inferential statistics

there is an assumption of

QUOTA SAMPLING
It is a non-probability sampling technique where the assembled
sample has the same proportions of individuals as the entire Merits
population with respect to known characteristics, traits or focused •Moderate cost
phenomenon. •Very extensively used and understood
•No need for the list of population
Two types of quota elements
1.Equitable quota
An equal number of sample is selected. Demerits
Example •Variability and bias cannot be measured
100 samples are selected all from 4 areas, i.e A, and controlled
B,C,D •Projecting data beyond the sample not
justified
2.Ratio based quota
On the basis of ratio, sample units are selected from
all areas of the population.
Example
If we have to select 200 samples from country X
then we will select 45% from A, 30% from B, 15%
from C and 10% from D.
SNOWBALL SAMPLING: chain sampling
It relies on referrals from initial subjects to generate additional
subjects
When participants are hard to find, for example, a study
investigation on cheating in exams

Merits
•The ability to recruit hidden populations.
•Economical

Demerits
•It can lead to bias
•It’s not possible to determine the sampling error
•There is no guarantee about the
representativeness of samples

SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING (1)
• An initial starting point is selected by a random
process, and then every nth number on the list is
selected
• n=sampling interval
o The number of population elements between the
units selected for the sample
o Error: periodicity- the original list has a systematic

n = desired sample size ◼Disadvantages

STRATIFIED SAMPLING (2)

Types of Stratified Samples

• Proportional Stratified Sample:


The number of sampling units drawn from each
stratum is in proportion to the relative population size
of that stratum

• Disproportional Stratified Sample:


The number of sampling units drawn from each stratum is allocate
ed according to analytical considerations e.g. as variability increases
sample size of stratum should increase
CLUSTER SAMPLING (1)
• The primary sampling unit is not the individual element,
but a large cluster of elements. Either the cluster is
randomly selected or the elements within are randomly
selected Types of Cluster Samples
• Area sample:

MULTISTAGE SAMPLING
 Sampling process carried out in various stages.
 An effective strategy because it banks on multiple
randomizations.
COUNTIES 01
 Used frequently when a complete list of all members of
the population does not exist and is inappropriate.
SEGMENTS 02
 Merits
• Introduces flexibility in the sampling method.
• Enables existing divisions and sub divisions of
population to be used as units.
HOUSEHOLDS 03
• Large area can be covered.
• Valuable in under developed areas.
INDIVIDUALS 04
 Demerits
Less accurate than a sample chosen by a single stage
process.
MULTIPHASE SAMPLING
 Used for studies to be carried out in
multiple phases. 1: ALL SAMPLES
 For e.g. A cross - sectional study on
nutrition may be carried out in phases

DETERMINING SAMPLE SIZE
What data do you need to consider
• Variance or heterogeneity of population
➢ Previous studies? Industry expectations? Pilot
study?
➢ Sequential sampling
➢ Rule of thumb: the value of standard
deviation is expected to be 1/6 of the range. Formulas:
• The degree of acceptable error (confidence Means n = (ZS/E) 2
interval) Proportions n = Z2 pq/ E2
• Confidence level Percentiles n = pc (100 – pc) Z2/ E2
• Generally, we need to make judgments on all
these variables Z at 95% confidence = 1.96
Z at 99% confidence = 2.58
