Random

Sampling
Population refers to the whole group under
study or investigation.

Sample is a subset taken from a


population, either by random sampling or
by non-random sampling.
Random sampling is a selection of n
elements derived from the N population,
which is the subject of an investigation or
experiment, where each point of the sample
has an equal chance of being selected
using the appropriate sampling technique.
Types of Random Sampling
Techniques
Lottery sampling
is a sampling technique in which each member of the
population has an equal chance of being selected.
Systematic sampling
is a sampling technique in which members of the
population are listed and samples are selected at
intervals called sample intervals.
Stratified random sampling
is a sampling procedure in which members of
the population are grouped on the basis of their
homogeneity.
Example: Using stratified random sampling, select a
sample of 400 students from the population which are
grouped according to the cities they come from. The
table shows the number of students per city.
City Population (N)
A 12,000
B 10,000
C 4,000
D 2,000
Solution: To determine the number of students to be taken as
sample from each city, we divide the number of students per
city by total population (N= 28,000) multiply the result by the
total sample size (n= 400).
City Population (N) Sample (n)

A 12,000 12,000/28,000 x (400)= 171

B 10,000 10,000/28,000 x (400)= 143

C 4,000 4,000/28,000 x (400)= 57

D 2,000 2,000/28,000 x (400)= 29


Cluster sampling
is sometimes referred to as area sampling and
applied on a geographical basis.
Multi-stage sampling
uses a combination of different sampling
techniques. For example, when selecting
respondents for a national election survey, we
can use the lottery method first for regions and
cities.
Identify the terms being described
1. This is a selection of n elements derived from a
population N, which is the subject of the investigation
or experiment, where each sample point has an equal
chance of being selected using the appropriate
sampling technique.
2. A sampling technique where every member of the
population has an equal chance of being selected.
3. It refers to a sampling technique in which members of the
population are listed and samples are selected in intervals
called sample intervals.
Identify the terms being described
4. It is a subset taken from a population, either by
random or non-random sampling technique. A sample
is a representation of the population where one
hopes to draw valid conclusions from about
population.

5. It refers to the entire group that is under study or


investigation.
Parameter and
Statistic
A parameter is a descriptive population measure.
Example: 1. All people living in one city, all-male
teenagers worldwide, all elements in a shopping
cart, and all students in a classroom.
2. The researcher interviewed all the students of
a school for their favorite apparel brand.
Statistic is the number that describes the sample.
It can be calculated and observed directly.
Example: 1. Fifty percent of people living in the U.S.
agree with the latest health care proposal. Researchers
can’t ask hundreds of millions of people if they agree,
so they take samples or part of the population and
calculate the rest.
2. Researcher interviewed the 70% of covid-19
survivors.
