What is
Sampling ?
Sampling is the process of
selecting a subset of individuals,
groups, or data points from a larger
population for analysis. It helps
researchers draw conclusions
without studying the entire
population, making the research
process more efficient.
What is sampling?
Sampling allows large-scale
research to be carried out with a
more realistic cost and time-frame
because it uses a smaller number of
individuals in the population with
representative characteristics to
stand in for the whole.
Population
A population in research refers to
the entire group of individuals,
objects, or events that the
researcher is interested in
studying. It includes all elements
that meet specific criteria and from
which conclusions are intended to
be drawn.
Sample
A sample is a subset of the population
selected for the actual study. It represents
the larger population and allows researchers
to make inferences about the population
without studying every individual. The
sample should be as representative as
possible to ensure accurate and reliable
findings.
2 TYPES OF
SAMPLING
Probability Sampling
Probability sampling methods involve
random selection, ensuring that every
member of the population has a known
chance of being included in the sample.
This approach minimizes bias and allows
researchers to generalize their findings to
the larger population.
Non Probability
Sampling
Non-probability sampling methods do
not involve random selection. Instead,
they rely on the judgment of the
researcher or the availability of
participants. While these methods are
often easier and quicker to implement,
they can introduce bias, limiting the
ability to generalize findings to the
entire population.
SAMPLING
METHODS
Probability Sampling
1. Simple Random Sampling
- is the most frequently used type of
probability sampling technique
- is characterized by the idea that the
chance of selection is the same for
every member of the population
