Steps in Drawing a Systematic
Random Sample
1: Obtain a list of units that contains an
acceptable frame of the target population
2: Determine the number of units in the list and
the desired sample size
3: Compute the skip interval: SI = [# sampling
units available/desired sample size]
4: Determine a random start point
5: Beginning at the start point, select the units
by choosing each unit that corresponds to the
skip interval

Steps in Drawing a Stratified
Random Sample
1: Divide the target population into
homogeneous subgroups or strata
2: Draw random samples from each
stratum
3: Combine the samples from each
stratum into a single sample of the
target population

Cluster Sampling
Cluster sampling is a
method of probability sampling
where the sampling units
are selected in groups
rather than individually. The
chosen groups are sampled in
their entirety.
