I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
Sample is the subset of the population and the process of selecting and getting a sample
or respondents is known as sampling. It helps a lot in research. It is one of the most important
factors which determine the accuracy of your research/survey result. A sampling plan is a
detailed outline of which measurements will be taken at what times, on which material, in what
manner, and by whom that support the purpose of an analysis.
II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM THE MELC
At the end of the lesson you are expected to:

 Describe sampling procedure and sample (CS_RS12-IIa-c-2)
 Design a sampling scheme that details how and when samples will be taken
 Determine and select sample sizes
III. ACTIVITIES
Sampling is the process of selecting and getting a sample or respondents. It helps a lot
in research. It is one of the most important factors which determine the accuracy of your
research/survey result. If anything goes wrong with your sample then it will be directly reflected
in the final result.

There are lot of techniques which help us to gather sample depending upon the need and
situation. There are lot of sampling techniques which are grouped into two categories as
Probability Sampling and Non- Probability Sampling.
A. Probability Sampling
This Sampling technique uses randomization to make sure that every element of the
population gets an equal chance to be part of the selected sample. It’s alternatively known as
random sampling.
Simple Random Sampling: Every element has an equal chance of getting selected to be the
part sample. It is used when we don’t have any kind of prior information about the target
population.

mpling-techniques-a4e34111d808
Stratified Sampling: This technique divides the elements of the population into small
subgroups (strata) based on the similarity in such a way that the elements within the group are
homogeneous and heterogeneous among the other subgroups formed. And then the elements
are randomly selected from each of these strata. We need to have prior information about the
population to create subgroups.
Cluster Sampling: The entire population is divided into clusters or sections and then the
clusters are randomly selected. All the elements of the cluster are used for sampling. Clusters
are identified using details such as age, sex, location etc. Cluster sampling can be done in
following ways:

5
Single Stage Cluster Sampling - Entire cluster is selected randomly for sampling.

Two Stage Cluster Sampling - Here first we randomly select clusters and then from
those selected clusters we randomly select elements for sampling.

techniques-
a4e34111d808
Systematic Clustering: Here the selection of elements is systematic and not random except
the first element. Elements of a sample are chosen at regular intervals of population. All the
elements are put together in a sequence first where each element has the equal chance of
being selected. For a sample of size n, we divide our population of size N into subgroups of k
elements. We select our first element randomly from the first subgroup of k elements.
To select other elements of sample, perform following:

We know number of elements in each group is k i.e N/n
So if our first element is n1 then
Second element is n1+k i.e n2

6
Third element n2+k i.e n3 and so on..

Taking an example of N=20, n=5
No of elements in each of the subgroups is N/n i.e 20/5 =4= k
Now, randomly select first element from the first subgroup.
If we select n1= 3
n2 = n1+k = 3+4 = 7
n3 = n2+k = 7+4 = 11
Multi-Stage Sampling: It is the combination of one or more methods described above.

Population is divided into multiple clusters and then these clusters are further divided and
grouped into various sub groups (strata) based on similarity. One or more clusters can be
randomly selected from each stratum. This process continues until the cluster can’t be divided
anymore. For example country can be divided into states, cities, urban and rural and all the
areas with similar characteristics can be merged together to form a strata.

7
B. Non-Probability Sampling
This sampling technique does not rely on randomization. This technique is more
reliant on the researcher’s ability to select elements for a sample. Outcome of sampling
might be biased and makes difficult for all the elements of population to be part of the
sample equally. This type of sampling is also known as non-random sampling.
Convenience Sampling: Here the samples are selected based on the availability. This
method is used when the availability of sample is rare and also costly. So based on the
convenience samples are selected. For example, researchers prefer this during the initial
stages of survey research, as it’s quick and easy to deliver results.
Purposive/Judgment Sampling: This is based on the intention or the purpose of study.
Only those elements will be selected from the population which suits the best for the
purpose of our study. For example, if we want to understand the thought process of the
people who are interested in pursuing master’s degree then the selection criteria would be
“Are you interested for Masters in..?” All the people who respond with a “No” will be
excluded from our sample.
Quota Sampling: This type of sampling depends of some pre-set standard. It selects the
representative sample from the population. Proportion of characteristics/ trait in sample
should be same as population. Elements are selected until exact proportion of certain types
of data is obtained or sufficient data in different categories is collected. For example, if our
population has 45% females and 55% males then our sample should reflect the same
percentage of males and females.
Referral /Snowball Sampling: This technique is used in the situations where the population
is completely unknown and rare. Therefore we will take the help from the first element which
we select for the population and ask him to recommend other elements who will fit the
description of the sample needed. So this referral technique goes on, increasing the size of
population like a snowball.

For example: It’s used in situations of highly sensitive topics like HIV Aids where people will
not openly discuss and participate in surveys to share information about HIV Aids. Not all the
victims will respond to the questions asked so researchers can contact people they know or
volunteers to get in touch with the victims and collect information
