SDO LAGUNA STEM-P RESEARCH II WORKSHEET

QUARTER 3
Hi there my dear student! Today, you and your classmates will begin a new week of distance learning. We are all physically
away from each other do not think that you are alone in this learning journey. There are other students learning with you too. And also I
will closely guide and assist you in your lessons. Please be guided of the following:
• This study guide will help you with the flow of the activity and the lesson.
• Answer the activities on a separate sheet of paper. (Please take care and do not write anything on
your module and other activity sheets.)
• If you see this icon you are free to reach me if you need my assistance. You can find my contact
no. on your class schedule. (You can also reach me out through social media platforms.)
• Expect to receive a phone call or a text message from me for the follow up.
• Compile all your answer sheets at the end of the week and wait for the announcement when to submit
them.

Time allotment: 4 hours / week Let us make learning science fun and exciting!☺

What you need to learn?

At the end of the week you should be able to:
O Describe the different type of sampling techniques.
• Identify the sampling techniques used in a given situation.
• Explain the importance of using appropriate sampling method in
research.

 Let’s find more about the words that you found out!

Important terms to know! Population

Population - a set which includes all measurements of interest
to the researcher (The collection of all responses, measurements,
or counts that are of interest)
Sample- is a small group of members selected from a population to represent the population.
- Subset of a population
Sample
Sampling
A word that refers to a process through which a researcher selects a portion or segment from the
population at the center of researcher’s study.
There are two types of sampling, those are:
1. Probability Sampling
2. Non-Probability Sampling
What is Probability Sampling?
Probability Sampling scheme is one in which every unit in the population has a chance (greater than
zero) of being selected in the sample, and this probability can be accurately determined.

Types of Probability Sampling

a.) Simple random sampling – is characterize by the idea that the chance of selection is the same for every
member of the population. Most frequently used type of probability sampling techniques. It include, the use
of a table with random numbers, roulette wheel or it can be done by draw lots.

Example: You want to select a simple random sample

of 100 employees of Company X. You assign a
number to every employee in the company database
from 1 to 1000, and use a random number generator to
select 100 numbers.

b.) Stratified random sampling – It is obtained by separating the population into non-overlapping groups
called strata and then obtaining a proportional simple random sample from each group. The individuals
within each group should be similar in some way.

Example: One easy example using a

stratified technique would be a sampling of
people at your school. To make sure that a
sufficient number of students, faculty, and
staff are selected, we would stratify all
individuals by their status - students,
faculty, or staff. (These are the strata.)
Then, a proportional number of individuals
would be selected from each group.

c.) Systematic sampling – is obtained by selecting every kth individual from the population. The first
individual selected corresponds to a random number between 1 and k=(population size/sample size).
So to use systematic sampling, we need to first order our individuals, then select every kth. (More on how
to select k in a bit.)
Example: In the past, students have often used
this method when asked to survey a random
sample of students. Since we don't have access to
the complete list, just stand at a corner and pick
every 10th* person walking by.
* Of course, choosing 10 here is just an example.
It would depend on the number of students
typically passing by that spot and what sample size
was needed.

d.) Cluster Sampling – is obtained by selecting all individuals within a randomly selected collection or
group of individuals. In essence, we use cluster sampling when our population is already broken into
“groups”. In literally. With our visual, let's suppose the 12 individuals are paired up just as they were
sitting in the original population.
Example : Manufacturing. Suppose your company makes light bulbs,
and you'd like to test the effectiveness of the packaging. You don't have
a complete list, so simple random sampling doesn't apply, and the bulbs
are already in boxes, so you can't order them to use systematic. And all
the bulbs are essentially the same, so there aren't any characteristics
with which to stratify them.
To use cluster sampling, a quality control inspector might select a
certain number of entire boxes of bulbs and test each bulb within those
boxes. In this case, the boxes are the clusters.
What is Non - Probability Sampling?
It is a process of selecting respondents in which not all members of the entire
population are given a chance of being selected as samples. There are cases that certain segments
of a population are given priority over others, such as when a researcher does not intend to generalize
to a larger population.

Types of Non- Probability Sampling

a.) Convenience Sampling – is commonly known as unsystematic, accidental or opportunistic
sampling. According to this procedure a sample is presented to the convenience of the
researcher.

Example: People in the shopping malls trying to survey you about your purchasing
habits, or even the voting on Idol Philippines!

b.) Quota Sampling - The population is first segmented into mutually exclusive sub-groups, just
as in stratified sampling. Then judgment used to select subjects or units from each segment
based on a specified proportion.

Example: An interviewer may be told to sample 200 females and 300 males between
the age of 45 and 60.

c.) Purposive Sampling – also called judgmental sampling. The researchers chooses based on
who they think would be appropriate for the study. This used primarily when there is a limited
number of people that have expertise in the area being research.

Example: In a study about honor students, the researchers use the list of honor
students chooses the necessary number of respondents, to the exclusion of all
other respondents.
