Probability Sampling Techniques

This document discusses several probability sampling techniques: Simple random sampling involves randomly selecting participants so that everyone has an equal chance of being chosen. Stratified random sampling divides the population into subgroups based on demographics and then randomly samples from each subgroup. Cluster sampling divides the population into groups, randomly selects clusters, and samples everyone within selected clusters. Systematic sampling involves choosing every nth participant from a randomly selected starting point. Multi-stage sampling combines two or more techniques, such as first clustering then randomly sampling within clusters.

Probability Sampling Techniques

Probability Sampling Techniques   

 The purpose of probability sampling is to get a sample


that represents the population from which it was
drawn. In this sampling technique, everyone has a
chance of being selected or sampled before the
sampling begins.
Simple random sampling

a sampling technique that involves drawing a sample


from a population such that everyone in the population
has an equal chance of being selected. 
 a. Lottery Method For example, placing the names of
all your students in a hat and blindly drawing ten
names from the hat.
 b. computer-assisted randomization
Stratified random sampling

 a sampling technique that involves first dividing


the population into subgroups(strata) based on
known demographics and then taking a simple
random sample from each subgroup. 
Stratified random sampling

 For example, if you know that A.C.N has a population of


60% women and 40% men (a known demographic) and
you wanted a sample of 100 students; you could randomly
sample 60 women and 40 men.  Thus, your sample has the
same stratification as the population, something that is not
guaranteed by a simple random sample.
Cluster sampling

 a sampling technique that involves dividing the

population into groups called clusters, randomly selecting


a certain number of clusters, and then sampling every
person (or thing) within each cluster.  This technique is
useful when the population of interest is spread out over a
large area or gaining access to individuals proves too
difficult. 
Cluster sampling
 you wanted a sample of 1st graders from around the Davao
De Oro. 
 How could you get a list who these 1st graders are? 
 With numbers of schools located across different
municipalities of Davao De Oro, you probably could not. 
 However, it would be easy to obtain a list of all schools in
the Davao De Oro . 
 Once you have this list of schools (clusters), you randomly
sample the desired number of schools before collecting
data on all the first graders in each of the chosen schools.
Systematic sampling
 a sampling technique that involves choosing every nth
person in a list or that you encounter after randomly
choosing a starting point within certain parameters. 

 For example, suppose you wanted a sample of 50


students arriving at the Assumption College of
Nabunturan Gymnasium for graduation.  If you know
500 students are expected to attend, you would need to
sample every tenth person to arrive (500 divided by
50).  However, to make your sample random in nature,
you would have to choose a random starting point
between 1 and 10.
Multi-stage sampling

 a sampling technique that involves combining two or


more of the above techniques in order to avoid the
limitations associated with any particular sampling
technique. 
 For example, suppose you wanted a sample of 1st graders from
around the Davao De Oro.  How could you get a list who these
1st graders are? 
 With the numbers of schools located across different
municipalities, you probably could not.
 However, it would be easy to obtain a list of all schools in the
Davao De Oro.Once you have this list of schools (clusters), you
randomly sample the desired number of schools before collecting
data on all the first graders in each of the chosen schools… 
 If you randomly chosen 25 schools, you would have to interview
thousands of first graders. 
 To further limit the size of your sample,  you could randomly
choose 10 students from each of your randomly chosen clusters
(schools).  Thus, you would have combined cluster sampling
with simple random sampling.
