A. Discussion Questions

1. What is sampling?

Sampling is the process of choosing a portion of a statistical population in order to

estimate the characteristics of the entire population. Statisticians try to get samples that
are typical of the population under consideration.

2. Differentiate between a sample and a population?

A population is a total group about whom you wish to make conclusions. A sample is a
precise group from whom you will gather data while on the other hand, sample size is
always smaller than the entire population size. A population in research does not usually
relate to humans.

3. Why should a researcher study a sample rather than the total population?

The study will be effective since it takes far less time and effort to study a sample rather
than the entire population. It is useful since most research try to draw conclusions about
sizable populations. These populations are too big to adequately collect data from every
component.
4. Differentiate between probability sampling from non-probability sampling.

While non-probability sampling involves non-random selection based on convenience or

other factors, it is easier to collect data. Probability sampling involves random selection,
allowing you to draw strong statistical conclusions about the whole group.

5. Differentiate the different probability sampling techniques and the non-probability

techniques.

Simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling
are examples of probability sampling techniques. The sample is chosen using non-
random criteria in non-probability sampling, on the other hand, and not every member of
the population has an equal chance of being included.

6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using random sampling?

To draw generalizations about a group, researchers opt for straightforward random

sampling. Its simplicity and impartiality are major benefits. The difficulty of obtaining a
list of a bigger population, time commitment, expense, and the possibility that prejudice
may still exist are some of the drawbacks.

3. If you wish to conduct an experiment on “The effect of a leadership training on the

leadership skills of 120 students in three State University and Colleges (SUC’s) in
Negros Island, how would you draw and allocate your samples to the experimental and
the control groups. Only 40 can be accommodated in the training. Your control group
and experimental group must be equal in number.

Using the Stratified Random Sampling

Stratified random sampling is the process of selecting a random sample from

subgroups or strata into which a population has been subdivided. A population is made
up of groups of elements with varied characteristics, which can possibly affect
observations or responses. The population is stratified into more or less homogeneous
 subgroups or strata, before sampling is done. From each subgroup, a sub-sample is drawn
using either simple random sampling or systematic sampling with a random start.

In a study on “The effect of leadership training on the leadership skills of 120 students in three
State University and Colleges (SUC’s) in Negros Island, how would you draw and allocate your
samples to the experimental and the control groups. Only 40 can be accommodated in the
training. Your control group and experimental group must be equal in number.

Population: All the 120 students

Sampling Frame: List of the 3 state university and colleges
Sampling Unit: Students

Steps in drawing the sample

Step 1: Classify the 3 state university and colleges: Gakuen state college, Yiruma University,
Rimuro State University

Step 2: Determine the overall sample size using an appropriate formula. For example, 40 is the
desired sample size.

Step 3: Allocate the needed sample size (n) among the four strata either equally, if the
subpopulations are more or less equal; or proportionately, if the numbers in the various strata
vary. To do this divide the stratum size by the population size (N) and multiply the quotient by
the needed sample size.
