A. population
Population is a unit of individuals or subjects in a region and time with certain
qualities that will be observed / examined.
The study population can be divided into "finite" and "infinite" populations.
Population is a population whose exact population is known, while an infinite population
is a population whose population members cannot be known with certainty. In the
research entitled PTS University Student Living Costs, for example, the number of PTS
University students can be known with certainty, hence it is called finite population.
While there is a study entitled "Analysis of Consumer Opinions and Attitudes towards
Cheap Earth Shop Services", it will appear that the study population is all consumers of
the Cheap Earth Store. While the number of consumers of the Cheap Earth Store data is
unknown, the population number cannot be known with certainty. Because this kind of
population is called an infinite population.
B. sample
By examining all students and / or all consumers of the store (a later example), the
researcher must certainly provide time, energy from a large cost. Therefore, researchers
in their research activities are justified in using only samples that can represent the study
population.
Thus the research sample is part of the population that is the subject of research as
a "representative" of the members of the population. As an example of the first research
title, not all students are studied (subject = respondent = data source), but some can be
taken to represent it. Likewise with the second example, which means that not all
consumers become research respondents, but some consumers are able to represent it.
This kind of research is called sampling research.
C. Sampling technique
Sampling technique is a sampling technique. To determine the sample that will be
used in research, there are various sampling techniques that are used. In qualitative and
quantitative research and R&D, Prof. Dr. Sugiyono (2010) states Schematically, sampling
techniques can basically be grouped into two namely Probability Sampling and Non-
probability Sampling. Probability Sampling includes: simple random, proportionate
stratified random, disproportionate stratifed random, and random areas. Nonprobability
sampling includes: systematic sampling, quota sampling, accidental sampling, purposive
sampling, saturated sampling, and snowball sampling.
1. Probability sampling
Probability sampling is a sampling technique that provides equal opportunities for
each element (member) of the population to be selected as a sample member. These
techniques include:
a. Simple random sampling
Simple random sampling is taking members of the sample from a random
population without regard to strata in that population. This method is used when
members of the population are considered homogeneous.
2. Nonprobability sampling
Nonprobability sampling is a sampling technique that does not provide an
opportunity / opportunity for each element or member of the population to be selected
as a sample.
a. Systematic sampling
Systematic sampling is a sampling technique based on the order of population
members that have been given a sequence number. For example members of the
population consisting of 100 people. Of all the members given serial numbers,
namely numbers 1 through number 100. Sampling can be done with only odd
numbers, or multiples of certain numbers, for example multiples of numbers 5, for
that then taken as samples are numbers1, 5, 10 , 15, 20, and so on up to 100.
b. Quota sampling
Quota sampling is a technique of determining a sample of a population that has
certain characteristics to the desired amount (quota). For example, it will conduct
research on community opinion on community service in the matter of Building
Permit. The number of samples determined by 500 people. If the data collection is not
based on 500 people, the research is considered incomplete, because it has not met the
specified quota.
If data collection is done in groups of 5 data collectors, each group member must
be able to contact 100 sample members, or 5 people must be able to find data from
500 sample members.
c. Incidental sampling
Incidental sampling is a technique for determining samples based on coincidence,
ie anyone who accidentally met with the researcher, the results of the data can be used
as a sample, if viewed by people who happen to be found suitable as a source of data.
d. Purposive sampling
Purposive sampling is a sampling technique with certain considerations. For
example, will research on the quality of food, the sample data source is a food expert.
Or research on political conditions in an area, then the sample data source is a
political expert. This sample is more suitable for qualitative research or studies that
do not make generalizations.
e. Saturated sampling
Saturated sampling is a sampling technique when all members of a population are
used as a sample. This is often done when the population is relatively small, less than
30 people, or research that wants to make generalizations with very small errors.
Another term for saturated samples is the census, where all members of the
population are sampled.
f. Snowball sampling
Snowball sampling is a technique for determining a sample that is first small in
number, then enlarges. Like a snowball that rolled a long time to become big. In
determining the sample, one or two people are first selected, but because these two
people do not feel complete the data provided, the researchers look for others who are
considered to know better and can complete the data provided by the two previous
people. And so on, so that the number of samples more and more.
In many qualitative studies using purposive and snowball samples, for example, it
will examine who the riot provocateurs are, then it will be appropriate to use
purposive and snowball.
The size or size of this sample is very dependent on the amount of accuracy or
error desired by the researcher. However, in terms of error rates, in social studies the
maximum error rate is 5% (0.05). The greater the error rate, the smaller the number of
samples. However, it is important to note that the greater the number of samples (closer
to the population), the smaller the chance of generalization errors and vice versa, the
smaller the number of samples (away from the population), the greater the chance of
generalization errors.
Some formulas for determining the number of samples include:
n = N / N (d) 2 + 1
For example, the population is 125, and the desired error rate is 5%, so the
number of samples used is:
N=L/F^2+u+1
Information :
N = sample size
F ^ 2 = Effect Size
u = Number of changes related in research
L = Power function of u, obtained from the table
Jumlah = 258
So the number of samples is 12.9 + 77.4 +129 + 25.8 + 12.9 + = 258. The number
of fractions can be rounded up, so the number of samples is 13 + 78 + 129 + 26 + 13 + 25
= 259.
In calculations that produce deposits (there are commas) it should be rounded up
so that the number of samples is 259. This is safer than less than 258.
Roscoe in the book Research Methonds For Business (1982: 253) provides suggestions
on sample sizes for research such as the following:
1. The size of the sample that is feasible in research is between 30 to 500.
2. If the sample is divided into categories (for example: male-female, public-private
employee, etc.), then the number of sample members per category is at least 30.
3. If in the study will do the analysis with Multivariate (correlation or multiple
regression for example). Then the number of sample members is at least 10 times the
number of variables studied. For example there are 5 research variables (independent
+ dependent), then the number of sample members = 10 X 5 = 50.
4. For a simple experimental study, which uses the experimental group and the control
group, the number of sample members is between 10 to 20.
