Name: Here’s the step by step solution:

Grade/Section: Step 1. Randomly arrange the 250 students

Date: Step 2. Assign number to each student from 1 to 250.
Step 3. Find the sampling interval k using the formula.
Given: N= 250 (population size)
4TH QUARTER LESSON 1: RANDOM SAMPLING
n = 71(sample size)
is a method where every sample has an equal chance of being selected.
A randomly chosen sample fairly represents the entire population.
Solve for the sample interval, k:
Having an unbiased random sample is crucial for making accurate
conclusions.

There are four methods of random sampling. Step 4. Choose a number between 0 and k+1 as the random start. Since
1. Simple Random Sampling k is 4, pick a number from 0 to 5.
2. Systematic Random Sampling Step 5. If you pick the number 2, then 2 is your starting point, meaning it
3. Stratified Random Sampling is your first sample.
4. Cluster Random Sampling Step 6. From there, select every 4th student starting after the 2nd
student.
1. Simple Random Sampling
- This is done by using a Table of Random Numbers, which
contains rows and columns of randomly generated digits.
- Another method is the Lottery Method, where names or Therefore, the 71 students to be part of your sample are the students holding
numbers are drawn randomly. number 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, …

Lottery Method
(drawing random

is a sampling method in which the population is first divided into
subpopulation called strata and then samples are randomly selected
separately from each stratum.
In Stratified Random Sampling, the several subgroups or strata is based
on characteristics. The most common strata used are year level, gender,
age, ethnicity, religion, educational attainment, etc.

Two methods of Simple Random Sampling: Example for Stratified Random Sampling:
a. Simple Random Sampling With Replacement (SRSWR) Suppose you want to know the opinion of 200 students in a certain
observed and replaced school which has a total population of 6,000. If there are 1,200 grades 7;
once a unit is selected, the same unit can be chosen again in 1,100 grade 8; 1,050 grade 9; 940 grade 10; 900 grade 11 and 810 grade
future draws, as it always has the same chance of being 12 students, how are you going to choose your sample using stratified
selected. sampling?
b. Simple Random Sampling Without Replacement (SRSWOR)
observed not replaced Here’s the solution:
once a unit is selected, the same unit cannot be chosen again Step 1. Divide the population into several strata or separate them by
in future draws, as it no longer has a chance of being selected year level. See the illustration.
again.

Example for Simple Random Sampling:

A researcher wants to study the effects of social media on 1000 Senior
High School students of Zamboanga Sibugay NHS. He wishes to use the
simple random sampling (without replacement) and to determine how
many students should be in the sample.
Step 2. Compute the Sample size per strata using the formula:
Step 1: Use the Slovin Formula to get the number of students in the
sample.

Try to compute the rest of the sample size per strata and check your answer on
the table below.
For the margin of error, you can use 5% or 0.05

Step 2: Give each students a unique number. Based on the computed sample size per strata, you can now choose 40 students
Step 3: Write these numbers on pieces of paper and fold them. in grade 7; 37 in grade 8; 35 in grade 9; 31 in grade 10; 30 in grade 11and 27 in
Step 4: Place all the folded papers into a bowl or box. grade 12 for a total of 200 from a population of 6000 students. Take note that,
not all elements in each strata were included in the sample.
Step 5: Randomly draw 286 folded papers from the bowl without
looking. These 286 papers represent the sample for the study.
4. Cluster Random Sampling

clusters. Some clusters are randomly selected, and all members of the

sampling interval, can be calculated using the formula:
For example, a province can be divided into towns, then towns into
barrios, and a random sample of barrios is selected.
Similarly, in a school, students can be grouped by grade levels (e.g.,
Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9). If Grade 8 and Grade 10 are randomly
chosen, all students in those grades are surveyed. This method is useful
