Random Sampling

Presented by: Kevin Beabe

Population
-the set of all possible values of a variable.

Sample
-it consists of one or more data drawn from
the population.
What is Random Sampling?
-is a selection of n elements derived from the N
population, which is the subject of an investigation or experiment,
where each point of the sample has an equal chance of being
selected using the appropriate sampling technique.
 2 Types of Random Sampling
1. Probability Sampling
- the sampling techniques that involve random
selection.
2. Non- Probability Sampling
- the sampling techniques do not involve random
selection.
 Different Types of Random Sampling
1. Lottery sampling is a sampling technique in which each member of the
population has an equal chance of being selected. An instance of this is when
members of the population have their names represented by small pieces of
paper that are then randomly mixed together and picked out. In the sample, the
members selected will be included.

2. Systematic sampling is a sampling technique in which members of the

population are listed and samples are selected at intervals called sample
intervals. In this technique, every nth item in the list will be selected from a
randomly selected starting point.
Formula: K=N/n(Population/sample size)
3. Stratified random sampling is a method where the population is divided into
subgroups or "strata" based on shared characteristics like age, gender, or socio-
economic status. Each stratum is then sampled separately, usually through
simple random or systematic sampling, to ensure representation of all subgroups
in the final sample. This technique is used when the population has distinct
subgroups that need to be fully represented.
4. Cluster sampling is sometimes referred to as area sampling and applied on
a geographical basis. Generally, first sampling is performed at higher levels
before going down to lower levels. For example, samples are taken randomly
from the provinces first, followed by cities, municipalities or barangays, and
then from households.
Different Types of Non-Random Sampling

1. Convenience sampling wherein the researcher gathers data from

nearby sources of information exerting minimal effort.
2. Snowball sampling or chain referral sampling is defined as 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.
3. Quota sampling sample units are picked for convenience but
certain quotas are given to interviewers. This design is specially used
in market research. Researched choose these individuals according to
specific traits or qualities.
4. Volunteer sampling sample units are volunteers in studies
wherein the measuring process is painful or troublesome to a
respondent.
