Sampling
Sampling is the process of selecting a small number ofelements from a larger defined target group of elements suchthat the information gathered from the small group will allow
judgments to be made about the larger groups.
In other ward it refers to drawing a sample (a subset) from a
population (the full set). The usual goal in sampling is toproduce a representatie sample .
The purpose of sampling is to gather data about the population
in order to ma!e an inference that can be generali"ed to the
population. Sampling error is an# t#pe of bias that is attributable to
mista!es in either drawing a sample or determining thesample si"e.

Characteristics of sample
A good sample has following qualities or characteristics:
Representativeness: An ideal sample must be such that itrepresents adequately the whole populations. We wouldselect those units which have the same set of qualities andfeatures as are found in the whole data. It should not lack inany characteristic of the population.
Independence: The second feature of a sample isindependence that is interchangeability of units. !very unitshould be available to be included in the sample.
Adequacy: The number of units included in a sampleshould be su"cient to enable derivation of conclusions
applicable to the whole population. A sample having #$% ofthe whole population is generally adequate.
H!"eneity: The units included in sample must bearlikeness with other units otherwise sample will beunscienti&c.

andom Sampling
Simple random samplingis a method of probabilit# samplingin which eer# unit has an equal non"ero chance of beingselected.
Systematic random sampling is a method of probabilit#sampling in which the defined target population is ordered andthe sample is selected according to position using a s!ipinteral.
Stratified random sampling is a method of probabilit#sampling in which the population is diided into different
subgroups and samples are selected from each Cluster random sampling: a sample selected in an# non'
random fashion so that the probabilit# that a unit is drawn intothe sample cannot be calculated.

Three techniques are t#picall# used in carr#ing out Step 54 thelotter# method a table of random numbers and randoml#generated numbers using a computer program (i.e. randomnumber generator).
In using the lotter# method (also referred to as the 6blind drawmethod7 and the 6hat model7) the numbers representing eachelement in the target population are placed on chips (i.e.cards paper or some other objects). The chips are then placedin a container and thoroughl# mi3ed. &e3t blindl# select chips
from the container until the desired sample si"e has beenobtained.
Disadantages of this method of selecting the sample are thatit is time'consuming and is limited to small populations.

1 table of random numbers ma# also be used. The numbers ina table of random numbers are not arranged in an# particular
pattern.
The# ma# be read in an# manner i.e. hori"ontall# erticall#
diagonall# forward or bac!ward. In using a table of random numbers the researcher should
blindl# select a starting point and then s#stematicall# proceeddown (or up) the columns of numbers in the table.
The number of digits that are used should correspond to thetotal si"e of the target population.
0er# element whose assigned number matches a number theresearcher comes across is selected for the sample.

1s in using the lotter# method using a table of random
numbers is a tedious time'consuming process and is not
recommended for large populations.
Instead statistical software should be used for large
populations. +ost statistical software and spreadsheet
software hae routines for generating random numbers.
0lements of the populations whose assigned numbers match
the numbers generated b# the software are included in the
sample.
2ne ma# select a number from a table of random numbers for
use as the starting number for the process.

T#pes of simple random sampling
There are two t#pes of simple random sampling4
Sampling with replacement and
Sampling without replacement.
In sampling with replacement after an element has beenselected from the sampling frame it is returned to the frame and
is eligible to be selected again. In sampling without replacement after an element is selected
from the sampling frame it is remoed from the population andis not returned to the sampling frame.
Sampling without replacement tends to be more efficient thansampling with replacement in producing representatie samples.
It does not allow the same population element to enter thesample more than once. Sampling without replacement is morecommon than sampling with replacement.

Stratified Sampling
Stratified sampling is a probabilit# sampling procedure in
which the target population is first separated into mutuall#
e3clusie homogeneous segments (strata) and then a simple
random sample is selected from each segment (stratum).
The samples selected from the arious strata are then
combined into a single sample. This sampling procedure is
sometimes referred to as 6quota random sampling.

1ssign a unique number to each element.
Determine the sample si"e for each stratum. The numerical distribution
of the sampled elements across the arious strata determines the t#pe of
stratified sampling that is implemented. It ma# be a proportionate
stratified sampling or one of the arious t#pes of disproportionatestratified sampling.
andoml# select the targeted number of elements from each stratum.
1t least one element must be selected from each stratum for
representation in the sample8 and at least two elements must be chosen
from each stratum for the calculation of the margin of error ofestimates computed from the data collected.

S#stematic Sampling
S#stematic sampling (or interal random sampling) is aprobabilit# sampling procedure in which a random selection is
made of the first element for the sample and then subsequent
elements are selected using a fi3ed or s#stematic interal until
the desired sample si"e is reached.
The random start distinguishes this sampling procedure from
its non probabilit# counterpart non probabilit# s#stematic
sampling (discussed aboe).
In some instances a sampling frame is not used. The target
population need not be numbered and a sampling frame
compiled if there is ph#sical presentation such as a continuous
flow of population elements at specific locations.

Cluster Sampling%
2ften it is impossible or impractical to create a sampling
frame of a target population andAor the target population is
widel# dispersed geographicall# ma!ing data collection costs
relatiel# high.
Such situations are ideal for cluster sampling. Cluster
sampling is a probabilit# sampling procedure in whichelements of the population are randoml# selected in naturall#
occurring groupings (clusters).
In the conte3t of cluster sampling a 6cluster7 is an aggregate
or intact grouping of population elements. 0lement sampling isthe selection of population elements indiiduall# one at a
time.

2n the other hand cluster sampling inoles the selection of
population elements not indiiduall# but in aggregates.
The sampling units or clusters ma# be space'based such as
naturall# occurring geographical or ph#sical units (e.g. states
counties census tracts bloc!s or buildings)8 organi"ation'
based such as such units as school districts schools grade
leels or classes8 or telephone'based such as area codes or
e3changes of telephone numbers.
For the most part the cluster sample designs described in thischapter are space'based or area'based sampling procedures.

&onprobabilit# sampling is a subjectie procedure in whichthe probabilit# of selection for each population is un!nown
beforehand.
The selection of sample units from a population is not done on
a strictl# chance basis as it is in probabilit# sampling. 1n important feature of nonprobabilit# sampling is that it
offers researchers greater freedom and fle3ibilit# in selecting
the indiidual population units than does probabilit# sampling.

basis for selecting a sample of units.
This form of sampling has become er# popular in onlineresearch and is !nown as intercept samplingorpop-up surveys.
?. ,udgment Sampling ,udgment sampling (or purposive sampling) is a procedure in
which a researcher e3erts some effort in selecting a sample thathe or she beliees is most appropriate for a stud#.
In practical situations the researcher will or should be!nowledgeable about the nature of the releant or ideal
population for a stud#.

@. -uota Sampling
-uota sampling inoles sampling a quota of units to be
selected from each population cell based on the judgmentof the researchers andAor decision ma!ers.
It is the most refined form of nonprobabilit# sampling and
is often used in practice especiall# in studies inoling
personal interiewing. -uota sampling resembles stratified random sampling and
possesses certain features of judgment and conenience
sampling as well.

sampling* is considered a t#pe of purposie sampling. In
this method participants or informants with whom
contact has alread# been made use their social networ!s

Sample error
To use sure#s based on samples it is essentials that one
appreciate the concept of sampling and non'sampling errors.
Sampling errors arises out of the fact that inferences for the
entire population is drawn on the basis of few sample
obserations.
2n the other hand non'sampling errors happens due to errors
of computation at the sate of classification and processing of
data.

,ust because the sample mean (following treatment) isdifferent from the original population mean does notnecessaril# indicate that the treatment has caused a change.
Vou should recall that there usuall# is some discrepanc#
between a sample mean and the population mean simpl# as aresult of sampling error.
Eecause the h#pothesis test relies on sample data and because
sample data are not completel# reliable there is alwa#s the
ris! that misleading data will cause the h#pothesis test to reach
a wrong conclusion.
Two t#pes of error are possible.

T#pe I error is often considered to be more serious and thus more
important to aoid than t#pe II error
The h#pothesis test procedure is adjusted so that there is a guaranteedlow probabilit# of t#pe I error (denoted as #$
