Random Sampling
Random Sampling
Objective:
1. Determine the area of the standard normal curve to the right of z = 1.63.
2. Find the area of the standard normal curve less than z = -0.95
3. Find the area under the standard normal curve given the condition 1.7<z<2.33.
4. Given a distribution whose mean is 20.5 and standard deviation of 4, find the
z-value for 15.
5. It is known that the weights of mangoes harvested in a farm are normally
distributed with a mean of 220 grams and a standard deviation of 25 grams. If a
mango is selected at random, what is the probability that its weight is between 155
and 230 grams?
Identify the target market for each of the

- Business organizations do not have unlimited funds to
pursue all these segments. If a company intends to make a
profit from its operations, it shall serve only specific
segments of the population that are most likely to purchase
its product. This way, companies avoid spending rather large
amounts of money in selling their products to segments that
are least likely to buy.
- After segmenting the market into various homogeneous
parts (or segments possessing similar characteristics), the
marketer decides which part(s)/segment(s) he/she wants to
actively pursue. The target market of a product or service is
defined as its most probable and most logical consumers, and
may likewise be its heaviest consumers.
- The consumer segmentation variables are:
a. Geographic Segmentation – pertains to where the
population is located. Sub variables are region, city, density,
and climate
b. Demographic Segmentation – refers to the general
characteristics of the population. Sub variables are age, sex,
income, civil status, education, occupation, family size,
religion and nationality
c. Psychographic Segmentation – represent the psychological
profile of consumers. Sub variables are social class, lifestyle
and personality.
d. Behaviour Segmentation – associated with the customers
buying behavior. Sub variables are purchase frequency, user
status, usage rate, loyalty status and readiness.
Just like in your school research for example if, is it possible
that you can use the whole population of the Philippines as a
sample? Why?
Mary Ann, a student from Ninoy Aquino Senior High School
wants to know about the plans of Senior High School
students after graduation. Can you help her determine the
criteria of her sample for her respondents? Justify your
answer.
Population and Sample

Population
Step 4. Randomly select a number between 0 and k+1. That will be the
starting number.
Step 5. Select every k (from step 3) from the sampling frame starting from
the selected number from step 4.
Activity 3. Stratified Sampling
Step 1. Subdivide the population into several strata. Then make a table.
(Strata, Number of Students per Strata, Sample)
Step 2. To obtain the sample size per stratum, divide the total number of
students per stratum by the population, and then multiply the result by the
sample size.
Activity 3. Cluster or Area Sampling
Step 1. Divide the population into clusters. Choose a number of clusters and randomly
select from it (You can use lottery, card shuffling, etc).
Activity 3. Cluster or Area Sampling
