in the study, computed using Cochran's formula

For unknown populations

For known/smaller populations

Choose the Sampling Method 2
The process of selecting the people to be part of the sample, through either Choose the Sampling Method
probability or non-probability sampling

Probability Sampling

1 Simple Random Sampling 2 Stratified Sampling

Equal likelihood that every person in Used when the population/sample

the population is selected requires homogeneity in the
responses
Fish bowl method, table of random
numbers Division of population into
levels/strata
Choose the Sampling Method 2
The process of selecting the people to be part of the sample, through either Choose the Sampling Method
probability or non-probability sampling

Probability Sampling

3 Cluster Sampling 4 Systematic Sampling

Used when the population is Choosing an interval & using the

heterogeneous in nature number to choose every nth person
in the population
Division of population into clusters,
randomly
Choose the Sampling Method 2
The process of selecting the people to be part of the sample, through either Choose the Sampling Method
probability or non-probability sampling

Non-Probability Sampling

1 Purposive Sampling 2 Snowball Sampling 3 Convenience Sampling

Used when specific characteristics Research only knows one point Choosing participants who are
are necessary for the study person with specific characteristics easily accessible

The point person "snowballs" to

other participants who have the
same traits
