SAMPLING

DESIGNS
At the end of the lesson the student can
1. Enumerate the different sampling designs.

2. Describe how each sampling design is done.

3. Differentiate stratified sampling from multistage

and from cluster sampling.
4. Describe the non-scientific sampling.
Sampling – the method of getting a
representative portion of the population

Population – the aggregate or total of

objects, persons, families, species or
orders of plants and animals
SCIENTIFIC
SAMPLING
1. Restricted Random Sampling
Applicable only when the population
is homogenous
2. Unrestricted Random Sampling
The best sampling design due to no
restriction imposed
TECHNIQUES
IN
CHOOSING
THE
SAMPLE
1. Lottery Technique – assign a number to
each individual of the population. Write the
numbers on a small sheet of paper, roll
each, place in a box, mix thoroughly, then
draw from the box for the sample size (132
for 175 persons)
2. Table of Random Numbers – assign a number
to each individual (5000) so numbers from 0001
to 5000 be assigned to each individual

The sample size of 5000 is 250 – pick numbers

from the table either vertically, horizontally, right
or left until 250 individuals are identified as a
sample

 Table of random numbers technique
is applicable to a large population.

To select the sample – the researcher

looks up and point his/her ballpen on the
table – whatever number pointed
numbers from 0 – 5000 are taken,
beyond 5000 is disqualified
 3. Stratified Random Sampling
Divide the population into 2 (males – females)

Total population is 5000 students = 3500 are

females, 1500 are males

Draw 244 (sample size) from females and

232 (sample size) from the males
 4. Systematic sampling
The population is arranged alphabetically or
chronologically – 1-10, 1st set, 1- 10, 2nd set and
so on until the 2500 (population) is numbered.

Every 10th individual is taken until 242, the

sample size is reached.
5.Multistage sampling

Individuals are grouped into

hierarchy of units and sampling is
done consecutively
1st stage – province,
2nd stage – town,
3rd stage – Barangay,
4th stage - sitios
 6. Cluster Sampling
Population is grouped into
clusters or small units ( by
blocks, district, city)

Selected either by random

sampling or systematic
sampling
NON – SCIENTIFIC
SAMPLING
 1. Purposive sampling

Selecting the individuals as samples according

to purpose of the researcher

Example: Select few residents to try their

menu
 2. Incidental Sampling
Samples are taken because
they are the most available
Example: Interview any teachers he
mets
 3. Quota sampling
Looking for individuals with requisite characteristics
( popular in the field of opinion research

Example : Get the opinion of politicians in a

particular party
 4. Convenience sampling
Picking out people in the
fastest and most convenient
way to immediately get their
reaction
