 Given are researchable
problems. Identify the most
appropriate method/s of
gathering data to be used.
Explain your answer.
A study to identify the factors
being considered by the
consumers in buying shoes,
clothes, and personal
accessories
A study to find out if a
new drug is effective in
curing tubercolosis
 Researches to
determine the
mortality rate from
2017-2018
An approach to find out
the relationship
between age and
mental ability
 A study to determine
the study habits of
grade 9 students in Las
Pinas
 An inquiry on the
average allowance of
grade 8 students in a
certain school
 Sampling
Technique
Sampling technique is a
procedure used to
determine the
individuals or members
of a sample.
 There are two sampling
techniques.
1. Probability Sampling
2. Non probability
Sampling
Probability Sampling is a
sampling technique wherein
each member or element of
the population has an equal
chance of being selected as
members of the sample
 Simple
Random
Sampling
Each individual is
chosen entirely by
chance and each
member of the
population has an
equal chance, or
probability, of being
selected
 Stratified
Random
Sampling
Method of
sampling from a
population which
can be partitioned
into
subpopulations.
Systematic
Random
Sampling
A method of selecting a
sample by taking every
kth unit from an ordered
population, the first unit
being selected at
random. Here k is called
the sampling interval and
the reciprocal 1/k is the
sampling fraction
Cluster Sampling
subgroups of the
population are used as
the sampling unit,
rather than individuals.
The population is
divided into subgroups,
known as clusters,
which are randomly
selected to be included
in the study
Non probability Sampling does
not involve random selection
of samples. It does not mean
however that non probability
samples aren’t representative
of the population.
 Convenience
sampling
the easiest method
of sampling,
because
participants are
selected based on
availability and
willingness to take
part.
Purposive
Sampling
Also known as
selective, or
subjective, sampling,
this technique relies
on the judgement of
the researcher when
choosing who to ask
to participate
Quota Sampling
This method of
sampling is often
used by market
researchers.
Interviewers are
given a quota of
subjects of a
specified type to
attempt to recruit
Snowball
Sampling
commonly used in
social sciences when
investigating hard-to-
reach groups. Existing
subjects are asked to
nominate further
subjects known to
them, so the sample
increases in size like a
rolling snowball
A reporter writes the name
of each senator on a
separate card, shuffles the
cards, and then draws five
names.
An engineer selects
every 50 cellphone
th

from the assembly line

for careful testing
analysis.
A dean at DLSU-D
surveys all students from
each of 12 randomly
selected classes.
A reporter obtains sample
data from readers who
decide to mail in a
questionnaire printed in
the latest issue.
A mathematics professor
selects 18 men and 18
women from each of the
four classes
In conducting research for
a psychology course, a
student at DLSU interviews
students who are leaving
the school canteen.
A reporter obtains numbered listing of
the 1000 companies with the highest
stock market values, uses a computer to
generate random numbers between 1
and 1000, and then interviews the chief
executive officers of the companies
corresponding companies to these
numbers.
A medical student at UST
interviews all diabetic patient in
each of the randomly selected
hospitals in the country.
A researcher interviews
every 45 patient in the
th

list of DLS-UMC in-

patients.
Ms. Morales wants to give away 3
movie tickets. In order to avoid bias,
she wrote the name of each of her
students in a paper and placed it in a
hat. To determine the 3 winners, she
picked 3 rolled papers from the hat.
 How many
respondents do we
need in a survey
research?
Slovin’s Formula

n
n=number of samples
N=number of population
e=margin of error
Generalization

The slovin’s formula is

used to determine the
number of samples to
reach the intended
margin of error.
 Fixing Skills

Determine the sample size to be

considered for a research work that
will involve a population of 6000
students if the desired margin of
error is:
a. 10% c. 7%
b. 5% d. 2% e. 12%
 Evaluation

Determine the sample size to be

considered for a research with 7%
margin of error if the population
involved is:
a. 100 b. 335 c. 750

d. 1,200 e. 10,000
 Assignment
Determine the sample size for the given
population and margin of error.
1. N=1 000, e=5%
2. N=2 000, e=2%
3. N=3 000, e=8%
4. N=10 000, e=6%
5. N=15 000, e=9%
