How to know the overall taste of a pizza?

Do you need to eat the entire pizza to figure that
out?

Population Sample

You only need to try a single slice to get an idea.

 Population

• The population is the entire group you want to

study or know about.

EXAMPLE:
You want to know the
favorite snacks of all
the students in your
school. In this case,
the population is all
the students in your
school.
 Sample

• A sample is a smaller group selected from the

population to represent it.

EXAMPLE:
Instead of asking every single
student in the school, you decide
to ask just 30 students from
different grade levels about their
favorite snacks. This group of 30
students is your sample.
 Sampling

• Sampling is the process

of selecting a smaller
group (sample) from a
larger population in
order to gather data and
make conclusions about
the entire population.

Exercise most appropriate sampling technique to be
employed. Select from the following
options:

1. A school board wants to analyze the academic

performance of students across different regions.
They randomly select 5 regions and include all
schools in those regions in their study.

Answer: Cluster Sampling

Exercise most appropriate sampling technique to be
employed. Select from the following
options:

2. A teacher wants to know her students’ favorite

snacks. She writes all their names on pieces of
paper, puts them in a box, and draws 5 names
randomly.

condition of houses in a housing project area. He

Exercise most appropriate sampling technique to be
employed. Select from the following
options:

5. A school principal wants to survey students'

opinions about a new lunch menu. She divides
students into groups based on grade level and
selects 10 students randomly from each grade.

Answer: Stratified Sampling

 Write True if the statement is
Activity A correct and False if it is incorrect.
True 1.Simple random sampling ensures that every individual in
the population has an equal chance of being selected.
False 2.In systematic sampling, individuals are selected at random
from a population without any specific interval or order.
True
3.Stratified sampling involves dividing the population into
subgroups (strata) and then randomly selecting individuals
True from each subgroup.
4.Cluster sampling involves dividing the population into
clusters and then randomly selecting entire clusters to
include in the sample.
False
5.Convenience sampling requires dividing the population into
strata and selecting individuals randomly from each stratum.
 Write True if the statement is
Activity A correct and False if it is incorrect.
True 6. In systematic sampling, individuals are selected at
regular intervals from a randomly chosen starting point.
True 7. Cluster sampling is often used when it is impractical to
collect data from the entire population due to geographical
spread.
False 8. Simple random sampling is the most efficient method
when the population is large and dispersed.
True 9. Convenience sampling is the easiest and fastest method
to implement but may introduce bias in the sample.
True 10. Stratified sampling is especially useful when there are
significant differences between subgroups in the
population that need representation in the sample.
