Sample or Census Population: The aggregate of all elements,
sharing some common set of characteristics, thatcompromises the universe for the purpose ofresearch problem.
Census: A complete enumeration of the elements
of a population or study objects.
Sample: A subgroup of the elements of thepopulation selected for participation in the study.

The Sampling Design Process Target Population: The collection of elements or
objects that possess the information sought bythe researcher and about which inferences are tobe made.
Element: Objects that possess the information
sought by the researcher and about whichinferences are to be made.
Sampling Unit: The basic unit containing the
elements of the population to be sampled.

Select a Sampling Technique Sampling with replacement: A sampling
technique in which an element can be included inthe sample more than once.
Sampling without replacement: A samplingtechnique in which an element cannot be
included in the sample more than once.

Nonprobability Sampling
Sampling techniques that do not use chanceselection procedures. Rather, they rely on thepersonal judgment of the researcher.

Probability Sampling
A sampling procedure in which each element of thepopulation has a fixed probabilistic chance ofbeing selected for the sample.

Nonprobability Sampling Techniques
Convenience Sampling: Convenience samplingattempts to obtain a sample of convenientelements. The selection of sampling units is leftprimarily to the interviewer. Often, respondents
are selected because they happen to be in theright place at the right time.

Nonprobability Sampling Techniques
Judgmental Sampling: Judgmental sampling isa form of convenience sampling in which thepopulation elements are selected based on thejudgment of the researcher. The researcher,
exercising judgment or expertise, chooses theelements to be included in the sample, becausehe or she believes that they are representative ofthe population of interest or are otherwise
appropriate.

Nonprobability Sampling Techniques
Quota Sampling: Quota sampling may beviewed as two-stage restricted judgmentalsampling, where the first stage consists ofdeveloping control categories, or quotas, of
population elements.

Nonprobability Sampling Techniques
Snowball Sampling: In snowball sampling, aninitial group of respondents is selected, usually atrandom. After being interviewed, theserespondents are asked to identify others who
belong to the target population of interest.Subsequent respondents are selected based onreferrals. This process may be carried out inwaves by obtaining referrals from referrals, thus
leading to a snowballing effect.

Probability Sampling Techniques Simple Random Sampling: In simple random
sampling (SRS), each element in the populationhas a known and equal probability of selection.Furthermore, each possible sample of a given
size (n) has a known and equal probability ofbeing the sample actually selected.

Probability Sampling Techniques Systematic Sampling: In systematic sampling,
the sample is chosen by selecting a randomstarting point and then picking every ith elementin succession from the sampling frame. The
sampling interval, i, is determined by dividing thepopulation size N by the sample size n androunding to the nearest integer.

Probability Sampling Techniques Stratified Sampling: Stratified sampling is a two-
step process in which the population is partitionedinto subpopulations, or strata. The strata shouldbe mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.
Every population element should be assigned toone and only one stratum and no populationelements should be omitted. Next, elements areselected from each stratum by a random
procedure, usually SRS.

Probability Sampling Techniques Cluster Sampling: In cluster sampling, the target
population is first divided into mutually exclusiveand collectively exhaustive subpopulations, orclusters. The a random sample of clusters is
selected, based on a probability samplingtechnique such as SRS.
