Sampling and Data Gathering Techniques: Institute of Computing and Engineering Mathematics Department

This document discusses various sampling and data gathering techniques used in research. It describes determining sample size using census, similar past studies, or formulas. It also outlines different types of sampling, including non-probability techniques like snowball, convenience, and quota sampling. Probability sampling methods covered are simple random, systematic, stratified random, and cluster sampling. The document provides an overview of key considerations for researchers in selecting appropriate sampling approaches.

Determining the Sample Size
Using a census for small
population

Using sample size for similar


study

Using Formulas  

-Slovin’s Formula size


N=population size
margin of error
Sampling
-is the act, process or technique of selecting an appropriate sample
or representative part of population.

Types of Sampling Techniques


• Each member of the population does not have a
Non-probability known chance of being included in the sample.
Sampling

• Samples are chosen in such a way that each


member of the population has a known though
Probability Sampling not necessarily equal chance of being included
in the sample.
Non-probability Sampling
• This type is obtained when an element of a sample is
Snowball Sampling suggested or identified by another member of the sample.

• This type is used because of the convenience it offers


Convenience
Sampling
to the researcher.

• A sampling technique wherein samples are selected in


Quota Sampling a maximum permitted number or quantity.

• The sample is selected based on the judgement or pre-


Purposive Sampling determined criteria set by the researcher.
Probability Sampling
• All members of the population have a chance of being
Simple Random included in the sample.
Sampling

• It selects every nth member of the population with the


Systematic
Sampling
starting point determine at random.

• This is used when the population can be subdivided • Equal


Allocation
Stratified Random
into several smaller groups or strata and then sample • Proportional
Sampling are randomly selected from each stratum. Allocation

This is called as area sampling. It is usually used when


the population is very large. Clusters or groups instead of
Cluster Sampling
individuals are randomly chosen.
