3. Sampling method??
A sampling method is a
procedure for selecting sample
from a population.
Sample??
It is a unit that is selected from
the population.
Represents the whole
population.
4. The sample reflects the true characteristics of the
population, so researcher must decide which
sampling method should be used. The sampling
methods can be classified as:
5. Random sampling V/s Non
Random sampling
Random Sampling
Methods:
Also called as a probability
sampling since the sample
selection is done randomly.
Every unit have the same
probability of being
included in sample.
Non-Random
Sampling Methods:
In this case the selection is
done on the basis of
criteria.
Every unit does not have
the same probability of
being included in sample.
6. Random sampling
1) Simple Random
Sampling
The Simple Random
Sampling is a sampling
technique wherein
every item of the
population has an equal
and likely chance of
being selected in the
sample.
7. Random sampling
2)Stratified Sampling
It is a sampling
technique wherein the
population is sub-divided
into homogeneous
groups, called as ‘strata’
from which the samples
are selected on a
random basis.
8. Random sampling
3)Systematic Sampling
In this type, the starting
point from where the
element is to be drawn
from the population is
chosen randomly and
then the subsequent items
are selected on the basis
of the fixed periodic
interval between the
sample items.
9. Random sampling
4) Cluster Sampling
In cluster sampling, the
researcher divides the
population into separate
groups, called clusters.
Then, a simple random
sample of clusters is
selected from the
population.
11. Non Random sampling
1)The Judgment Sampling
It is the non-random
sampling technique
wherein the choice of
sample items depends
exclusively on the
investigator’s knowledge
and professional
judgment.
12. Non Random sampling
2) Convenience
Sampling
It is the non-probability
sampling technique
wherein a proportion of
the population is
selected on the basis of
its convenient
availability.
14. Non Random sampling
4)Snowball Sampling
The snowball sampling
method is extensively used
in the situations when the
population is unknown
and rare, and it is hard to
select the subjects.
Like ,one person
recommends another, who
recommends another, who
recommends another etc.
