Sampling Terminology
• Sample– A subset, or some part, of a larger population
• Population or universe– Any complete group of entities that share some
common set of characteristics
• Population element– An individual member of a population
• Census– An investigation of ALL the individual elements that
make up a population
![Page 3: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why Sample?
• Sampling– Cuts costs– Reduces labor requirements– Gathers vital information quickly
• Most properly selected samples give sufficiently accurate results

Target Population• A.k.a., the Relevant population• Operationally define
– All women still capable of bearing children vs.
– All women between the ages of 12 and 50
• Comic book reader?– Does this include children under 6 years of
age who do not actually read the words?

Sampling Frame
• A list of elements from which the sample may be drawn
• A.K.A., the working population
• Mailing lists - data base marketers–Sampling services or list brokers
![Page 7: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Two Major Categories of Sampling
• Probability sampling•Known, nonzero, & equal probability of selection for every population element
• Nonprobability sampling•Probability of selecting any particular member is unknown
![Page 8: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nonprobability Sampling
• Convenience
• Judgment
• Quota
• Snowball
![Page 9: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Convenience Sampling
• Also called haphazard or accidental sampling
• The sampling procedure of obtaining the people or units that are most conveniently available
![Page 10: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Judgment Sampling
• Also called purposive sampling
• An experienced individual selects the sample based on his or her judgment about some appropriate characteristics required of the sample member
![Page 11: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Quota Sampling
• Ensures that the various subgroups in a population are represented on pertinent sample characteristics to the exact extent that the investigators desire
• It should not be confused with stratified sampling.
![Page 12: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Snowball Sampling
• A variety of procedures
• Initial respondents are selected by probability methods
• Additional respondents are obtained from information (or referrals) provided by the initial respondents
![Page 13: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Simple Random Sampling
• A sampling procedure that ensures that each element in the population will have an equal chance of being included in the sample
![Page 16: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Systematic Sampling
• A simple process
• Every nth name from the list will be drawn
• Periodicity– Problem that occurs in systematic sampling
when the original list has a systematic pattern (I.e., the original list is not random in character)
![Page 17: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Stratified Sampling
• Probability sample
• Subsamples are drawn within different strata using simple random sampling
• Each stratum is more or less equal on some characteristic
• Do not confuse with quota sample
![Page 18: Sampling Design. Sampling Terminology Sample –A subset, or some part, of a larger population Population or universe –Any complete group of entities that](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032705/56649d845503460f94a6b8cc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

What is the Appropriate Sample Design?
• Degree of accuracy
• Resources
• Time
• Advanced knowledge of the population
• National versus local

• Variance (standard deviation)– Get from pilot study or rule of thumb (managerial
judgment)
• Magnitude of error– Managerial judgment or calculation

Sample Size Formula - Example
Suppose a survey researcher is studying expenditures on lipstick
Wishes to have a 95 percent confident level (Z) and
Range of error (E) of less than $2.00.
The estimate of the standard deviation is $29.00.

Suppose, in the same example as the one before, the range of error (E) is acceptable at $4.00 (rather than the original $2.00), sample size is reduced.

Where: n = Number of items in samples
Z2 = The square of the confidence interval in standard error units.
p = Estimated proportion of success
q = (1-p) or estimated the proportion of failures
E2 = The square of the maximum allowance for error between the true proportion and sample proportion or zsp squared.

Sample Size for a Proportion:Example
• A researcher believes that a simple random sample will show that 60 percent of a population (p = .6) recognizes the name of an automobile dealership.
• Note that 40% of the population would not recognize the dealership’s name (q = .4)
• The researcher wants to estimate with 95% confidence (Z = 1.96) that the allowance for sampling error is not greater than 3.5 percentage points (E = 0.035)
