Stratified Random Sampling

Stratified random sampling is a probability sampling technique where the population is divided into subgroups or strata. Samples are then randomly selected from each strata. This ensures representation from all subgroups. Some benefits are greater precision even with smaller samples, minimizing bias, and ensuring no subgroups are underrepresented. However, it requires more administration and the subgroups must be clearly defined. Stratified random sampling is useful when studying relationships between subgroups or when a representative sample is needed to generalize to the entire population.

DEFINITION
STRATIFIED RANDOM
SAMPLING
- a probability sampling option where the population .
is broken down/ separated in strata like segment or .
section.
EXAMPLE OF STRATA
 Age
 Gender
 Educational Qualification
 Type of school
 Grade Level
When is Stratified Random
Sampling Used
- When studies aim to find correlations or differences
(or any sort of relationship) between different subgroups of
a population.

- When researchers want to save time by having a smaller


sample size, stratified sampling can be used to pick a sample
group as it’s highly accurate method of sampling and hence a
large sample size is not required.
ADVANTAGES
- Provides better precision as it takes the samples proportional
to the random population.

- Helps minimizing the biasness in selecting the samples.

- Ensures that no any section of the population are


underrepresented or overrepresented.

- As this method provides greater precision, greater level of


accuracy can be achieved even by using small size of samples.
This saves resources.
DISADVANTAGES
- Requires more administrative works as compared with
Simple Random Sampling.

- It is sometimes hard to classify each kind of population into


clearly distinguished classes.

- Can be tedious and time consuming job to those who are


not keen towards handling such data.
IMPORTANCE OF
STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING
- it allows you to quickly obtain a sample population that best
represents the entire population being studied.

- Combining all stratum samples into one representative sample

- also act of sorting data, people, and objects into distinct


groups or layers.

- in food analysis, which can have many categories or


classification of data, this kind of sampling can be very useful
