Samplin
Population is the group you want to generalize.
It consists of all the members of the group you
are interested in. Sample is the subset from the
population you want to examine. A population
commonly contains too many individuals to
study conveniently and practically, so an
investigation is often restricted to one or more
samples drawn from it. A well-chosen sample will
contain most of the information about a
particular population parameter but the relation
between the sample and the population must be
such as to allow true inferences to be made
Sampling is a process used in
statistical analysis in which a
predetermined number of
observations are taken from a
larger population. There are various
sampling methods that allow all the
units in the population to have an
equal chance of being selected.
1.Simple Random Sampling
Each element of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
There are no rules that dictate where and how you will start the
selection process, as long as you do not intentionally look for a specific
number. In this method, the samples can be selected through:

a. Lottery Method
Every member is assigned a unique number. These numbers are put in a
jar and thoroughly mixed. After that, the researcher picks some numbers
without looking at it and those people are included in the study.

b. Use of Table of Random Numbers


This table consists of a series of digits (0-9) that are generated randomly.
The
numbers are arranged in rows and columns and can be read in any
direction.
All the digits are equally probable.
Clustered Sampling
A multistage sampling method adopted when it is either
impossible or impractical to compile an exhaustive list of
elements found in the target population. The whole population is
subdivided into clusters, or groups, and random samples are
then collected from each group.

Example: A researcher wants to survey about academic


performance of high school students in the municipality of
Alubijid. He can divide the entire population into different
clusters (barangays). Then, the researcher selects a number of
barangays depending on his research through simple or
systematic random sampling. The researcher could draw
random samples from the selected barangay through simple
random sampling or take them all.
