o Any measurable
STATISTI characteristics
C from a SAMPLE.
Example: A class list compromising of 50 names is cut into strips, rolled up, and put
in a bowl. Ten strips (names) are then drawn from the bowl. The ten names That were
picked are collectively called the simple random sample.
STRATIFIED RANDOM
SAMPLING
o Sampling is done by first dividing the population into a number of non-
overlapping sub-populations or strata and then taking samples from each
stratum.

Example: A company is composed of 24 administrative staff, 38 support staff, 52 electrical
staff and 10 contractual staff. You wish to conduct a work motivation survey on 50 staff.
How many staff should be taken from each sub-population?

SYSTEMATIC RANDOM
SAMPLING
o Sampling is done by selecting every ith element in the population with the
starting point determined at random.

Systematic randomization can be done by selecting every person in
employee list.
CLUSTER SAMPLING
o Sampling is done by dividing the population into (geographical) groups called
clusters.

NON-PROBABILITY
SAMPLING
o Samples are chosen in such a way that some members of the
population may not have any chance of being included in the
sample.
COVENIENCE
SAMPLING
o Selecting those members of the population
available in order to obtain quick results
that are readily

o Choosing members for SAMPLING

obtain a certain target number whether or not based on the proportion of each
stratum with the population
