SAMPLING
Sampling is an important component of any piece of research because of
the significant impact that it can have on the quality of your results/findings.
Population In sampling, a population signifies the units that we are
interested in studying. These units could
be people, cases and pieces of data.

These types of probability sampling technique
include simple random sampling, systematic random
sampling, stratified random sampling and cluster
sampling.
Analysis of Data
Descriptive Statistics Inferential Statistics
Descriptive statistics is the term Inferential statistics are
given to the analysis of data that techniques that allow us to use

way such that, for example, populations from which the
patterns might emerge from the samples were drawn.

conclusions regarding any They are used to check whether

made. relationship in the variables.
They are simply a way to
describe our data.
Two general types of statistic that
are used to describe data:
1. Measures of central tendency
These are ways of describing
the central position of a
5
frequency distribution for a
group of data.
We can describe this central
position using a number of
statistics, including the mode,
median, and mean.
Mean
The mean (or average) is the
most popular and well-known
measure of central tendency.
It can be used with both
discrete and continuous data,
although its use is most often
with continuous data.
The mean is equal to the sum
of all the values in the data set
divided by the number of values
in the data set
Median
The median is the middle score
for a set of data that has been
arranged in order of magnitude.
Our median mark is the middle
mark
Mode
The mode is the most frequent
score in the data set.
You can, therefore, sometimes
consider the mode as being the
most popular option.
Normally, the mode is used for
categorical data where we wish
to know which is the most
common category.
2. Measures of spread
These are ways of summarizing
a group of data by describing
6
how spread out the scores are.
For example, the mean score of
our 100 students may be 65 out
of 100. However, not all
students will have scored 65
marks. Some will be lower and
others higher.
To describe this spread, a
number of statistics are
available to us, including the
range, quartiles, absolute
deviation, variance and
standard deviation.
