Statistical Population
Advantages of Sampling
1. It saves money because its much cheaper to collect the desire
information from a small sample than from a whole population.
2. It saves a lot of time and energy as the needed data are
collected and processed much faster than census information.
3. Sampling provides information that is almost as accurate as
that obtained from a complete census.
4. Sampling is essential to obtain the data when the
measurement process physically damages or destroys the
sampling units under investigation.
5. Sampling may be the only means available for obtaining the
needed information when the population appears to be infinite.
Sample Design and Sample Survey

NON PROBABILITY SAMPLING
Systematic Sampling
• ADVANTAGES:
• Sample easy to select
• Suitable sampling frame can be identified
easily
• Sample evenly spread over entire reference
population
• DISADVANTAGES:
• Sample may be biased if hidden periodicity in
population coincides with that of selection.
• Difficult to assess precision of estimate from
one survey.

Cluster Sampling

CLUSTER SAMPLING…….
• Identification of clusters
– List all cities, towns, villages & wards of cities with
their population falling in target area under study.
– Calculate cumulative population & divide by 30, this
gives sampling interval.
– Select a random no. less than or equal to sampling
interval having same no. of digits. This forms 1st
cluster.
– Random no.+ sampling interval = population of 2nd
cluster.
– Second cluster + sampling interval = 4th cluster.
– Last or 30th cluster = 29th cluster + sampling interval

Convenient Sampling
Selecting easily accessible participants with no
randomization.
For example, asking people who live in your residence to
take a survey for your project.
Quota Sampling
Chunk Sampling
without replacement.
Sampling error
The difference between the value of the sample statistic and the
Sampling error = -
