Sampling Techniques

This document discusses different sampling techniques used in research, including probability and non-probability sampling. It provides examples of specific sampling methods such as simple random sampling, systematic random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, convenience sampling, purposive sampling, snowball sampling, and quota sampling. The key differences between probability and non-probability sampling as well as how each technique selects samples are summarized.

techniques
2. Explain the difference between
probability sampling and non probability
sampling
3. Apply sampling techniques in research
studies.

Research in choosing sample research in choosing sample
A. Simple Random Sampling
 Most commonly used sampling
techniques.
 Each member of the population has an
equal chance to be selected as a
participant.
 The process is done by choosing the
members of the sample one by one, by
using either a lottery method or
tables of random numbers.
 All the members of the population are
assigned with specific numbers which are
then written on pieces of paper and placed
in a fish bowl ( or box ).
 All members that correspond to the
selected numbers will be the sample.
B. Systematic Random Sampling
 Often used on long population lists.
 A random sampling technique which
considers every kth member of the
population.
K= N/n
Where: K is the member of the population
N is the population size
n is the sample size

strata.
A.Convenience Sampling
( Haphazard Sampling)
 Select any members of the population who
are conveniently and readily available.
Examples: “AMBUSH INTERVIEW”
“OPINION POLL”
B. Purposive Sampling
( Judgmental or Selective Sampling )
 Typically used in Qualitative Research
 Each sample element is selected for a
purpose.
 Carefully choose the members of the
population which are best fitted to answer
the research question.
If a researcher wants to study the
toothpaste brand mostly preferred by
the people, then he would on purpose
to go to the nearby convenience store
and conduct an interview among all
buyers of a particular brand of
toothpaste
C. Snowball Sampling
( chain-referral sampling )
 Members recruit future members from
among their acquaintances.
 Each respondent is asked to give
recommendations or referrals to other
possible respondents.
 Very effective technique , especially
when the suitable participants of the
study are hard to find.
The sample group grows like a rolling
snowball.
 The first respondent refers a friend
 The friend also refers a friend, and so on.
Meeting a homeless person, interviewing
that person, and then asking him/her to
introduce you to other homeless you
might interview.
D. Quota Sampling
 The researchers ensures equal or
proportionate representation of subjects,
depending on which trait is considered as
the basis of the quota.
 The bases of the quota are usually age,
gender, education, race, religion, and socio
economic status
An interviewer may be told to sample 50
males above 50 years old.
If the basis of the quota is college level and
the research needs equal representation,
with a sample size of 100, he must select
25 1st year colleges students,
another 25 2nd year students,
25 3rd year students, and
25 4th year students.
