- SAMPLING: -
Sampling refers to the method of selecting a sample from a given universe with a view to draw conclusions
about that universe. A sample is a representative of the universe selected for study.
SAMPLE SIZE: -
Large sample gives reliable result than small sample. However, it is not feasible to target entire population or
even a substantial portion to achieve a reliable result. Sample size is the number of items to be selected from

DATA COLLECTION
Basically, the data can be classified into two categories i.e.,
A. Primary Data
B. Secondary Data
PRIMARY DATA-
The primary data are those which are collective a fresh and for the first time, these data are of the original
character. These can be collected by
a) Questionnaire.
b) Interview.
c) Observation.
d) Schedules.

definite number of questions printed in specific order.
The inherited merits of the system are comparatively lower cost and freedom from interviewer’s bias.
B) SCHEDULE METHOD
This method of data collection is very similar to questionnaire, with little difference which lies in the fact that
schedule (Performa containing set of questions) is filled by researcher, through this method the drawbacks of
the questionnaire in form of non-awareness etc. were removed. This method has a benefit of cross examination
to find out the truth.
C) INTERVIEW METHOD
The interview method of collecting data involves presentation of oral, verbal, stimuli; and reply in terms of
oral, verbal responses. This is done personally by the researcher for conducting intensive study. In this
structured and non-structured interview were are conducted as per needs and desires of the situation.
Types of interviews:
• Personal interview –

responses obtained. This interview technique is done at personal level (face-to-face) and is expensive.

companies.
• Telephone interview –

interview. It is an economic method. It is suitable to use telephone interview, when there is a need to
know about the telecast of information shortly after release in radio or television mediums.
• Mail Interview –

such interviews has to be done with more care as compared of the personal interview.

interviewers. In most cases, they have been on their own with the panel, particularly if it's for a senior
position, but in other scenarios there could be several candidates and interviewers all in the room at
once.

Another technique for gathering primary data is observation. When the researcher records information about
a person, organization, or situation, without making any personal contact, it is known as “observation method”.

draw a pattern of behaviour or response to a particular incident. Sometimes, an artificial environment is created
to collect the actual responses of the participants.
