PSC 5

The document discusses the importance of sampling in quantitative research, highlighting that studying an entire population can be impractical. It outlines various random sampling methods including simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic sampling, each with distinct characteristics. All methods are probability-based, ensuring that every member of the population has a known chance of selection, which helps to reduce bias and enhance representativeness.

Importance of Sampling
–Studying the entire population can
be impractical or impossible.
Sampling allows us to draw inferences
about the population based on a
smaller subset.

Sampling
Methods
Simple Random Sampling
–is a research technique that involves
randomly selecting a group of
individuals from a larger population.
* Every member of the population
has an equal and independent
chance of being selected for the
sample.
Stratified Random Sampling
– is a method of sampling that
involves the division of a population
into smaller subgroups known as
strata.
* The population is divided into
subgroups (strata) based on a
specific characteristic
* A simple random sample is
then taken from each stratum.
Cluster Sampling
– is a probability sampling method in
which you divide a population into
clusters, such as districts or schools,
and then randomly select some of
these clusters as your sample.
* The population is divided into
clusters (usually geographic areas).
* A random sample of clusters is
selected, and then all or a random
sample of individuals within the
selected clusters are included in the
study.
Systematic Sampling
– is a probability sampling method in
which a random sample, with a fixed
periodic interval, is selected from a
larger population.
Selecting every nth individual from a
list.
Key
Differences
Simple Random: Every individual has
an equal chance.

Stratified: Ensures representation


from subgroups.
Cluster: Samples groups within the
population.

Systematic:Selects individuals at
regular intervals.
Note: These are all probability
sampling methods, meaning that
every member of the population has
a known (and usually equal) chance
of being selected. This helps to
ensure that the sample is
representative of the population and
reduces the risk of bias.
