5. SAMPLING
ďStatistical procedure
ďConcerned with the selection of individual observation
ďHelps to make statistical inference about population
ďProcess of choosing a representative sample from target
population
6. SAMPLING
ďSampling is of two types
ďProbability sampling
ďNon probability sampling
ďIt should not be confused with sample
7. PURPOSE OF SAMPLING
ďTo understand the population
ďTo gather data about the population
ďTo accurately describe the parameters of population
ďTo save time and money
ďTo estimate some indicator
ďTo identify participants
9. Probability Sampling
⢠Every unit has equal chance being selected for sample
⢠Random Sampling
⢠Drawing names from hat or choosing the short straw
Types Of Probability Sampling
1.Simple Random Sampling
2.Systematic Random Sampling
3.Stratified Random Sampling
4.Cluster Random Sampling
5.Multi-stage Random Sampling
10. 3. Stratified Random Sampling
⢠Population is divided in two or more groups called strata
⢠A sample is selected from each stratum
Types of Stratified Random Sampling
⢠Proportionate Stratification
⢠Disproportionate Stratification
4. Cluster Random Sampling
⢠Population divided to subgroups (âclustersâ)
⢠A simple random sample is taken
⢠Used when population is too large
11. 1. Simple Random Sampling
⢠Get a list of âsample frameâ
⢠Generate random numbers
⢠Select one unit per random
number
2.Systematic Random Sampling
⢠Order all units in sampling
frame
⢠Select the kth unit
12. 5.Multi-stage Sampling
⢠Combination of all types
⢠Involve selecting a sample in at least
two stages
I. Systematic and Stratified
II. Cluster and Simple Random
13. NON- PROBABILITY SAMPLING
Non Probability sample method in
which some elements of population
have no chance of selection
Types
ď Convenience sampling
ď Snowball sampling
ď Purposive sampling
ď Quota sampling
14. 1) Convenience Sampling
A type of sampling where the element
selection is based on ease of accessibility
2) Snowball Sampling
The research starts from the key person
and introduce the next one to become a
chain
15. 3) Purposive sampling
The sample based on his or her judgment
about some appropriate characteristics
required of the sample member
4)Quota sampling
In Quota sampling, a population is first
segmented into mutually exclusive sub
groups, just as in stratified sampling
17. ADVANTAGES OF SAMPLING:
⢠Low cost of sampling.
⢠Less time consumed in sampling.
⢠Much easier to collect
information.
⢠Accuracy of data is high.
⢠Suitable in limited resources.
18. DISADVAN TAGES OF SAMPLING:
⢠Chances of biasness.
⢠Difficulties in selecting a truly
representative sample.
⢠In adequate in the subject.
⢠Impossibility knowledge of
sampling.
⢠Changeability of unit.
20. Sampling Errors
ďą The errors which arise due to the use of sampling surveys are known as
sampling errors.
Types of sampling errors
Biased errors:
ď due to selection of sampling techniques,
ď size of the sample.
Unbiased errors/ Random sampling errors:
ď difference between the members of the population included or not
included
ďą Increasing the sample size will reduce this type of error
21. Non Sampling Errors
ďą Due to sample observations being selected improperly
Types of non sampling error:
Errors in data acquisition
ď Due to incorrect measurement being taken
ď Inaccurate recording of data
Non response error
ď When units selected as part of the sampling procedure do not respond in wkole
or in part
Selection bias
ď when some members of target population cannot possibly selected for inclusion
in sample
ďą Increasing the sample size will not reduce this type of error
