Sampling
Sampling
Describes
sampling procedure and
the sample
Sampling
Detailedoutline of which
measurements will be taken at what
times, on which material , in what
manner and by whom that support
the purpose of an analysis .
Five Questions to
Consider
1. From where within the target
population should we collect
samples ?
2. What type of samples should we
collect?
3. What is the minimum amount of
sample for each analysis
4. How many samples should we
analyze?
5. How can we minimize the overall
Sample Size
n= N/ 1+ Ne2
WHERE
n= sample size
N= total population
e= margin of error
Example: A researcher wants to
conduct a survey on. If the
population of a big university
is 35,000. Find the sample
size if the margin of error is
5%
SLOVIN’s FORMULA
n= N/1+Ne2
SUBSTITUTE:
n= 35000/1+ (35000)(.05)2
= 35000/1+ (35000)(.0025)
= 35,000/1+87.5
= 35,000/88.5
= 395
SLOVIN’s FORMULA
Probability
Sampling
- Only approach that makes POSSIBLE
ESSAY

procedure and the sample?
Non Probability Sampling
Procedures
Convenience sampling – methods of
selecting samples that are available
and are capable of participating in
a research study on current events
Sometimes called HAPHAZARD or
AVAILABILITY SAMPLING
Example: survey or interview on a
captive audience inside the mall or
park or school
Snowball Sampling
Is
a technique where the researcher
identifies a key informant about a
research of interest and then ask
that respondent to refer or identify
another respondent who can
participate in the study
