population to be sampled
Note. practical when population is
geographically concentrated.

advantages…

…accurately reflects population studied


…can be used for both proportions
and stratification sampling
…sample represents the desired strata
disadvantages…
…cannot be used in all studies

…must identify every member of a population


being studied and classify
each of them into one, and only one,
subpopulation
Cluster Sampling
● also called as area sampling
● usually applied when the population is large
● population is divided into groups
and randomly selecting groups (samples are the selected
clusters
● members of groups have different characteristics

Note. Composition of clusters must be the same from each other.


Types of Cluster Sampling
1. One-Stage Cluster Sampling

2. Two-Stage Cluster Sampling

3. Multi-Stage Cluster Sampling


One-Stage Cluster Sampling
1. One-Stage Cluster Sampling

● Definition: In one-stage cluster sampling, the entire


population is divided into clusters, and a random
sample of these clusters is selected. All individuals
or elements within the selected clusters are then
included in the sample.
One-Stage Cluster Sampling
EXAMPLE:

If a school district has 50 schools, and you


randomly select 10 of these schools (clusters),
then survey all students (elements) in those 10
schools.
Two-Stage Cluster Sampling
2. Two-Stage Cluster Sampling

● Definition: Two-stage cluster sampling adds an additional layer


of sampling. First, clusters are selected at random, just like in
one-stage cluster sampling. Then, instead of surveying all
individuals within those clusters, a second random sample is
taken within each of the selected clusters.
Two-Stage Cluster Sampling
EXAMPLE:

● Continuing with the school district example, after selecting


10 schools (clusters), you then randomly select a certain
number of students (elements) from each of those 10
schools to include in your sample.
Multi-Stage Cluster Sampling
Definition: Multi-stage cluster sampling is an
extension of two-stage sampling, involving multiple
layers or stages of sampling. After selecting clusters in
the first stage, subsequent stages involve selecting
sub-clusters or individual elements within the clusters
in a hierarchical manner.
Multi-Stage Cluster Sampling
Example: In the school district scenario,
first, you might randomly select schools
(first stage), then classrooms within those
schools (second stage), and finally,
individual students within those classrooms
(third stage).

Multi-Stage Cluster Sampling
● Step one: Choose a sampling frame, considering the population of
interest. The researcher allocates a number to every group and
selects a small sample of relevant separate groups.

● Step two: Select a sampling frame of relevant separate sub-groups.


Do this from related, different discrete groups selected in the previous
stage.
Multi-Stage Cluster Sampling

● Step three: Repeat the second step if necessary.

● Step four: Using some variation of probability sampling,


choose the members of the sample group from the
sub-groups.
Example 1: Multi-Stage Cluster Sampling

● A survey to know about opinions on teachers of moving


the opening of classes from August to June or July.

Population:
Teachers across the
Philippines
● A survey to know about opinions on teachers of moving
the opening of classes from August to June or July.

● Can you easily obtain a list of all senior high

advantages…

…efficient
…researcher doesn’t need names of all
population members
…reduces travel to site
…useful for educational research
disadvantages…

…fewer sampling points make it less


like that the sample is representative
Systematic Sampling
> every nth number from the
population is included in
the sample
Note. You may choose a starting point
at random
Systematic Sampling

Choose every 5 student
Example
How much time residents of a
condominium watch netflix on a weekday
basis? If there are 100 condo units, and
you will only survey 20 condo owners. Who
will be surveyed?
Formula
Systematic Sampling

Therefore you will select every 5th member of


the target population.
advantages…
...provides us with a sample that is highly
representative of the population being
studied,
...allows us to make statistical conclusions
from the data collected that will be
considered to be valid.
...time and cost efficient
disadvantages…

…can only be carried out if a complete


list of the population is available.
There will
always be a
sampling error
Non- Probability Sampling
Convenience Sampling
the process of including whoever happens to be
available at the time
subjects used because they are convenient and
available

…called “accidental” or “haphazard” sampling


Reasons why Researchers Resort
to Convenience Sampling

● Researcher is unable to select samples using probability


sampling

● Researcher does not have complete list of population in


hand

● Researcher does not have the opportunity to select samples


randomly due to time/cost/travel restrictions.
Example: Convenience Sampling

Survey wants to know


opinions of teachers
about online learning
during COVID

Why would you use


convenience sampling
in this survey?
advantages…

…it is convenient and inexpensive


disadvantages…

…degree of generalizability is
questionable
Purposive sampling
- the process whereby the researcher selects(hand-picked) a
sample based on experience or knowledge of the group to be
sampled

- Respondents are selected based on a pre-determined


criteria set by the researcher.
- researchers have prior knowledge of the common
characteristic of the subgroup which is relevant to the
objective
…called “judgment” sampling
Why Use Purposive Sampling?
● Use on purpose to get that samples from whom researcher
can get maximum information

● When there are limited primary data available


Example. Purposive sampling
- A researcher wants to compare the status of people who play
different games in a city
\
Criteria:
● Play a game or two regularly

● Play at least 5 hours a week


Example. Purposive sampling
Criteria: Play a game or two regularly Play at least 5 hours a week
advantages…
…useful in qualitative research

…cost and time-efficient


disadvantages…
…extremely prone to researcher bias
…It can be an ineffective method when
applied to large population groups
Degree of generalizability is questionable

Quota Sampling
- Similar to stratified sampling (selected from homogeneous
group) but the selection of the sample is not done at random
-the process whereby a researcher gathers data from
individuals possessing identified characteristics and quotas

-done until a specific number of units (quotas) for various


sub-populations have been selected
Steps in Quota Sampling
Example: Quota Sampling
Comparison of
eating habits of Population = 1000
boys and girls in
school.

300 Girls 700 Boys


Sample size = 100
Example: Quota Sampling
300 Girls 700 Boys

(100/1000)*300 = 30

(100/1000)*700 = 70
Example: Quota Sampling
30 Girls 70 Boys

MARGIN OF ERROR

Example: MARGIN OF ERROR

A researcher finds, that 70% of the students


selected the modular learning approach with ±5%
Then the researcher can conclude that between 65%
and 75% of the students in the population have
selected modular learning approach.
CONFIDENCE LEVEL OR RISK LEVEL

90% 95% 99%


The key idea for confidence level tells the researcher that if the
population is repeatedly samples the average value of the attribute
obtained by those samples is equal to the true population value.

PROBLEM

Suppose we wish to evaluate a nationwide agricultural extension


program in which farmers were encouraged to adopt a new farming
technology.

Assume that there is a large population but that we do not know


the variability in the proportion that will adopt the new farming
technology therefore assume p is equal to .5 and suppose that we
desire a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error.

Suppose there are 2000 farmers in certain locality. You want


to conduct a survey on their willingness to adopt the new

A large sample size will always lead to increased
precision of the different attributes of the population.
The bigger the sample size, the more accurate you
can be that the results really reflect the entire
population.
