Random Sampling Jayden John Report

The document discusses random sampling, a statistical method for selecting a subset of a population to make inferences about the whole. It details four types of random sampling: Simple Random Sampling, Systematic Sampling, Stratified Sampling, and Clustered Sampling, along with their definitions and advantages. Additionally, it provides a formula for calculating the probability of selection in random sampling scenarios.

Sampling

In statistics, sampling is a
method of selecting the
subset of the population to
make statistical inferences.
From the sample, the
characteristics of the whole
population can be
In this report, we are
going to discuss one of the
types of probability
sampling called “Random
Sampling” in detail with its
definition, different types of
random sampling, formulas
Random sampling is a
method of choosing a
sample of observations from
a population to make
assumptions about the
population. It is also called
probability sampling.
Type of Random Sampling
The random sampling method uses
some manner of a random choice. In
this method, all the suitable
individuals have the possibility of
choosing the sample from the whole
sample space. It is a time consuming
and expensive method. The
advantage of using probability
sampling is that it ensures the
There are four major types of this
sampling method, they are;

 Simple Random Sampling


 Systematic Sampling
 Stratified Sampling
 Clustered Sampling
Simple random sampling
In this sampling method, each item in
the population has an equal and likely
possibility of getting selected in the
sample (for example, each member in a
group is marked with a specific number).
Since the selection of item completely
depends on the possibility, therefore this
method is called “Method of chance
Selection”. Also, the sample size is large,
and the item is selected randomly. Thus it
Systematic Random Sampling

In this method, the items are


chosen from the destination
population by choosing the random
selecting point and picking the other
methods after a fixed sample period.
It is equal to the ratio of the total
population size and the required
Stratified Random Sampling
In this sampling method, a population is
divided into subgroups to obtain a simple
random sample from each group and
complete the sampling process (for
example, number of girls in a class of 50
strength). These small groups are called
strata. The small group is created based
on a few features in the population. After
dividing the population into smaller
Clustered Sampling
Cluster sampling is similar to stratified
sampling, besides the population is
divided into a large number of subgroups
(for example, hundreds of thousands of
strata or subgroups). After that, some of
these subgroups are chosen at random
and simple random samples are then
gathered within these subgroups. These
subgroups are known as clusters. It is
Random Sampling Formula
If P is the probability, n is the sample size, and N is the
population. Then;

The chance of getting a sample selected only once is


given by;
P = 1 – (N-1/N).(N-2/N-1)…..(N-n/N-(n-1))

Cancelling = 1-(N-n/n)

P = n/N

The chance of getting a sample selected more than


once is given by;
Advantages of Simple Random
Sampling
Some of the advantages of random sampling are as
follows:

• It helps to reduce the bias involved in the sample,


compared to other methods of sampling and it is
considered as a fair method of sampling.
• This method does not require any technical
knowledge, as it is a fundamental method of
collecting the data.
• The data collected through this method is well
informed.
• As the population size is large in the simple random
Random Sampling Example
Assuming New Nazareth has a 1000 students and very active
athletes but only a 100 of them have to be selected for Dinagat Islands
Provincial Athletic Meet (DIPAM). All their names will be put in a basket
to pull 100 names out of those. Now, each student has an equal chance
of getting selected, so we can also easily calculate the probability (P) of
a given students being selected since we know the sample size (n) and
the population size (N).
Therefore, the chance of selection of a student only once
is;
P = n/N = 100/1000 = 10%
And the chance of selection of a students more than once
is;
P = 1-(1-(1/N))n
P = 1 – (999/1000)100
