TYPES OF

RANDOM
SAMPLING
TECHNIQUES
1. LOTTERY SAMPLING
• Is a sampling technique in which each member of the
population has an equal chance of being selected.

Example: Names are presented by small pieces of

paper that are then randomly mixed together and
picked out.
• Raffle draw
2. SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING
• Is a sampling technique in which members of the population are
listed and samples are selected at intervals called sample
intervals.
• Every nth item in the list will be selected from a randomly
selected starting point.

Example:
If you want to draw 10 sample from a population of 30 students
and you are expected to select every 3rd person in the list.
3. STRATEFIED RANDOM SAMPLING
• Is a sampling procedure in which members of the
population are grouped on the basis of their
homogeneity.
• The sample is constructed by classifying the
population into subpopulation or strata on the basis
of certain characteristics of the population (age,
gender, socio-economic status, etc.).
3. STRATEFIED RANDOM SAMPLING
• Formula:

Example:
Using stratified random sampling, select a sample of 400 students from
the population which are grouped according to the cities they come
from. The table shows the number of students per city.
3. STRATEFIED RANDOM SAMPLING
CITY POPULATION SAMPLE (n)
A 12,000 171
B 10,000 143
C 4,000 57
D 2,000 29
TOTAL SAMPLE SIZE= 400
4. CLUSTER SAMPLING
• Sometimes referred area sampling and applied on a
geographical basis. Generally, first sampling is performed
at higher levels before going down to lower levels.

Example:
Samples are taken randomly from provinces, followed by
cities/municipalities, barangay, and then from households.
5. MULTI-STAGE SAMPLING
• Uses a combination of different sampling techniques.

Example:
When selecting respondents for a national election
survey, we can use the lottery method first for regions
and cities, then we can use stratified sampling to
determine the number of respondents from selected
areas and clusters.
