 Probability Sampling
 Restricted Random Sampling
 Cluster Sampling
 Non-random Sampling
Probability Sampling

 Also called the Simple Random Sampling

 Samples are randomly picked and therefore the selection of sample
is without any bias
 Eg. ( lottery and raffle)
Restricted Random Sampling

 Used when the population to be considered is too large

 There are two types:
1. Systematic Sampling- done by picking every kth element of the
population.

kth = population size/Sample size = N/n

2. Stratified Samplng- The population is divided into strata Based on
their homogeneity or commonalities.
Example: A researcher wants to conduct a study in a university
with 10 000
students with 90% precision. If he used systematic sampling, find
the kth member he must include in his sample.

Given: N= 10 00; n= 99

 Solution:
Kth= N/n= 10000/99
= 101

Thus, every 101st member of the population was picked.

Example: In a certain study, 200 samplers are taken from
the population of 50 000 individuals. The population is
divided into strata based on their schools.

Strata Dist. Of % from the Sample

Population Population Units per
Stratum
SPC 15 000 30% 60
LSPU 10 000 20% 40
DLSP 25 000 50% 100
TOTAL 50 000 100% 200
Cluster Sampling

 Applied on geographical basis when the population

from which a sample is to be selected includes
heterogeneous groups.
Non-random Sampling
 Not all the population has equal chance to be selected.
 Influenced by the goal of the researcher

Three (3) forms:

1. Purposive Sampling- based on certain criteria.
2. Quota Sampling- a certain limit is pre-extablished to
determine who among the population can be part of
the sample
3. Convenience Sampling- based on the accessibility of
the researcher
