“The population should be clearly defined so that the
sample can be accurately identified.”
Population

Prepared by: Ms. Gustilo


A survey on the satisfaction of homeowners
living in a certain subdivision with the security
features in their place is to be conducted. A
sample of 100 homeowners based on an
alphabetical list. One hundred random
numbers are generated using a random
number of generator available in the Internet
and these will be used to determine the
homeowners who will participate in the
survey.

Sampling
In a statistical study, sampling refers to the process or
technique of selecting a representative sample from the
entire population to achieve unbiased results.

It is necessary to
concentrate on the data-
gathering procedure to
subset of the population.

A sample size can be determined
using the Slovin’s (1960) formula,

n – sample size
N – population size
e – margin of error
1 – constant value

probability of being selected for inclusions in the sample

• most commonly used methods are Number Generator,

of Grade 8 students concerning the use of Filipino
language in the teaching of Mathematics. There are 510
Grade 8 Students. She wants to interview only 10% of the
Grade 8 students in the school where the study is to be
conducted. If you were the student, how are you going to
do it by using a Table of Random Numbers?

Probability Sampling Techniques:
Systematic Sampling
• every kth element of the population is selected until desired number of
elements in the sample is obtained

• a list of elements of the population is used as sampling frame and the


elements to be included in the desired sample are selected by skipping
through the list at regular intervals

• the value of k is the sampling interval which obtained by:

Probability Sampling Techniques:
Stratified Sampling
• the population is divided into groups
called strata, which is based on some
characteristic

• The important requirement is that


each element of the population
belongs to exactly one stratum, and
the elements in stratum possess the
same characteristics defined by the
category of stratification. When the
strata have been formed, subsamples
from each stratum are selected by
simple random sampling and combined
to form the by:

determine their opinion on the new school uniform. How
are you going to choose your sample by using the
stratified sampling if there are 1,200 students in Grade
7; 1,100 in Grade 8; 1,050 in Grade 9; 940 students in
Grade 10; 900 in Grade 11, and 810 in Grade 12?

Probability Sampling Techniques:
Cluster Sampling
• the elements of the population
are divided into groups called
clusters. Usually the clusters
are based on naturally
occurring clusters mainly
geographical such as cities,
barangays, or municipalities.

Non-Probability Sampling Techniques:
CHARACTERISTICS OF NON-PROBABILITY

• The members of sample are drawn or selected based on


the judgment of the researcher.

• The results of these techniques are relatively unbiased.

• The techniques lack objectivity in terms of the selection


of samples.

• The samples are not so reliable.

• The techniques are convenient Prepared


and economical

Identify the type of sampling technique used by the researcher in each
of the following situations.

a.The office clerk gave the researcher a list of 500 Grade 10 students. The
researcher selected every 20th name on the list.

b. In a recent research that was conducted in a private school, the


subjects of the study were selected by using the Table of Random Numbers.

c. A researcher interviewed people from each town in the province of Albay


for his research on population.

d. A researcher is doing a research work on the students’ reaction to the


newly implemented curriculum in mathematics and interviewed every 10th
student entering the gate of the school.

e. A teacher conducted a study in her school to determine who were better


in mathematics: the boys or the girls.
