Random Sampling

Session Objectives
1. define terms related to
random sampling;
2. illustrate random sampling;
and
3. identify different random
sampling techniques.
How would you select a
sample from the 200
students in your school
to determine their most
loved and liked subject?

DEFINITIONS
Population Sample

A population includes all Sample consists of one or more


of its elements from a data drawn from the
set of data. population.

It is a subset or an incomplete
set taken from a population of
objects or observations.
Representing a population
A sample refers to a portion of the population.

POPULATION SAMPLE
Sampling Techniques
A sample must represent the entire
population.
A sample must not be biased.

This means that all members


have an equal chance of being
selected.
Types of Random Sampling

✓ Simple Random Sampling

✓ Stratified Sampling

✓ Cluster Sampling

✓ Systematic Sampling
Simple Random Sampling
• The most basic random sampling wherein each element
in the population has an equal probability of being
selected.
• They are usually represented by a unique identification
number that is written on equal-sized and shaped papers
and then selection of samples is possible through the
lottery method.
• Random numbers are selected to decide which elements
are included as the sample. The number of papers to be
drawn is based on the desired number of samples.
Real-life examples

A researcher writes the name of each student on a piece of paper,


mixes the papers in a bowl, and draws 7 pieces of paper.
Systematic random sampling
• a random sampling that uses a list of
all the elements in the population
and then elements are being
selected based on the kth consistent
intervals. To get the kth interval,
divide the population size by the
sample size.
Real-life examples
A researcher tells the class to count off and then selects
those students who count a multiple of 7 numbers.
Stratified random sampling
• A random sampling wherein the
population is divided into different
strata or divisions. The number of
samples will be proportionately picked
in each stratum that is why all strata are
represented in the samples.
Real-life examples

A researcher separates the list of boys and


girls, then draws 7 names by gender.
Cluster sampling
• a random sampling wherein
population is divided into
clusters or groups and then the
clusters are randomly selected.
All elements of the clusters
randomly selected are
considered the samples of the
study.
Real-life examples
A researcher surveys all students from 3
randomly selected classes out of 7 classes.
The sampling techniques that involve
random selection are called
PROBABILITY SAMPLING. Likewise,
simple random, systematic, and
stratified and cluster sampling are all
probability sampling techniques.
There are also sampling techniques that
do not involve random selection of data.
They are called NON-PROBABILITY
SAMPLING.
Convenience Sampling
• Samples are selected from the population only because they are
conveniently available to the researcher. Convenience is being used
by researchers giving questionnaires on the streets to ask the
passers-by.
Example:
When companies distribute their promotional pamphlets
and ask questions at a mall or on a crowded street with
randomly selected participants
Purposive Sampling
• Also not considered a random sampling since the respondents are
being selected based on the goal of the studies of the researcher.

Example:
If the study is about the students who are children of OFW, the
researcher will get samples who are children of OFW. This excludes
other students from being a sample.
Self Selection Sampling
• Uses volunteers to fill in the sample size until it reaches a
specified amount

Example:
Survey researchers may put a questionnaire online and
subsequently invite anyone within a particular organization to take
part.
Let's Try

Identify the type of random sampling


described in each situation.
Let's Try
1. Mr. Santos samples his class by selecting every third person on his
class list.
2. Mr. Santos samples his class by selecting all students sitting at
group 1 and group 5 in the classroom.
3. Mr. Santos samples his class by picking 10 numbers from his hat
and each number is assigned to a student.
4. Mr. Santos samples his class by selecting 5 girls and 7 boys.
5. Paul wanted to know students’ opinion on the ne schedule
at school. He places students’ names in a container and randomly
picks out 20 names.
