Sampling

What is Sampling?

According to Baraceros (2016), it is a "method or process of selecting respondents or people to answer questions meant to yield data for a research study."

Types of Sampling

1. Probability Sampling - Probability Sampling is a sampling technique in which samples from a larger population are chosen using a method based on the theory of probability. For a participant to be considered as a probability sample, he / she must be selected using a random selection. (Bhat, 2019)
2. Non Probability sampling - Non-probability sampling is a sampling technique where the samples are gathered in a process that does not give all the individuals in the population equal chances of being selected.


Types of Probability Sampling

1. Simple random sampling-  is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen.

Ex. Write names in paper, fold, put in a box, then randomly select the name

2. Systematic sampling- is a  method in which sample members from a larger population are selected according to a random starting point and a fixed, periodic interval. 

Ex. Population = 500; sample size- 50; get the every 10th  person on the list


3. Stratified sampling- is a type of sampling method in which the total population is divided into smaller groups or strata to complete the sampling process. 

Ex. Population = 500, sample size = 50, group the population by age, then get the sample by age.

4. Cluster Sampling- sampling method where multiple clusters of people are created from a population where they are indicative of homogeneous characteristics and have an equal chance of being a part of the sample.

 Ex. Population = 500, sample size = 50, group the population by age, then get the sample of ages. Then you can perform SRS in to that group.



How to compute sample size



Use SLOVIN’S FORMULA

Population = 1000;   Confidence Level = 95%

      or error = 5% or 0.05

n = 1000 / [1 + 1000 (0.05) 2 ]

  = 1000 / [1 + 1000 (0.0025)]

  = 1000 / (1 + 2.5)

  = 1000 / 3.5

  = 285.71 or 286



Non-Probability Sampling


1. Quota Sampling- non-probability sampling technique wherein the assembled sample has the same proportions of individuals as the entire population.
2. Voluntary Sampling -sampling in which people volunteer to participate in a survey. 
3. Purposive Sampling-  is one that is selected based on the characteristics of a population and the purpose of the study.
4. Availability Sampling- . It involves selecting a sample from the population because it is accessible.
5. Snowball Sampling- where research participants recruit other participants for a test or study.
