IDENTIFYING THE

DIFFERENT
RANDOM SAMPLING
TECHNIQUES
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
 Illustrates random sampling

 Distinguishes between parameter and

statistics.

 Apply sampling and sampling distributions

of the mean in real life situation.
Key terms/concepts
• Population – a group where members have
something in common, that is, the total set
of observations that can be made.

Example:
1. The population of senior citizen in Metro Manila.
2. The population of students in the senior high school program.
• Parameters are based on data collected from an
entire population. This means that every member
of the group is accounted for in the results.
Parameters provide descriptive data specific to a
particular population.
Key terms/concepts
•Sample – a smaller group or subset
of the population in question.

•Example:
1. A sample of 500 senior citizen from Metro Manila.
2. A sample of 100 grade 11 students from Metro Manila.
• Statistics are based on data collected from a sample of
the group being studied. The sample is a subset drawn
from the population as a whole. Studies that are based
on representative samples can be used to make
inferences about the larger population.
What is random sampling?
• Random Sampling
• It is a sampling method of choosing representatives from the
population wherein every sample has an equal chance of being
selected. Accurate data can be collected using random sampling
techniques.

• Teacher with index card

What is random sampling widely used for?

• Random sampling is widely used in research, surveys, opinion polls, and other data collection
processes. It allows researchers to make valid statistical inferences about the population based on
the information obtained from the sample.
Why is it important?

• By using random sampling, researchers can minimize bias, increase the reliability of their findings,
and generalize their results to the larger population with a certain level of confidence.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF RANDOM
SAMPLING
Simple Random Sampling
• A technique is the most basic random sampling wherein
each element in the population has an equal probability
of being selected.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF RANDOM
SAMPLING
SYTEMATIC RANDOM SAMPLING
• This can be done by listing all the elements in the population and selecting
every kth element in your population. This is equally precise as the simple
random sampling. It is often used on long population list.
To determine the interval to be
used in identifying the samples
to who will participate in the
study, use the formula
(Population/Sample Size)
DIFFERENT TYPES OF RANDOM
SAMPLING
STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING
• A random sampling wherein the population
is divided into different strata or division
The number of sample will
be proportionately picked
in each stratum that is why
all strata are represented in
the samples.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF RANDOM
SAMPLING
CLUSTER SAMPLING
• A random sampling wherein population is divided
into clusters or groups and then the clusters are
randomly selected.
All elements of the clusters
randomly selected are
considered the sample of
the study.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
NON PROBABILITY SAMPLING
CONVENIENCE SAMPLING
• The researcher gathers data from
nearby sources of information
exerting minimal effort.
Convenience is being used
by persons giving
questionnaires on the
streets to ask the passers -
by.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF NON
PROBABILITY SAMPLING
SNOWBALL SAMPLING OR
CHAIN-REFERRAL SAMPLING
• Defined as a non-probability sampling technique in
which the samples have traits that are rare to find
This is a sampling
technique, in which
existing subject provide
referrals to recruit
samples required for a
research study.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF NON
PROBABILITY SAMPLING
QUOTA SAMPLING
• Sample units are picked for convivence but certain
quotas are given to interview.
This design is specially
used in market research.
Researchers choose
these individuals
according to specific
traits or qualities.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF NON
PROBABILITY SAMPLING
VOLUNTEER SAMPLING
• Sample units are volunteers in studies wherein the
measuring process is painful or troublesome to a
respondent.
