Study Notes
Sampling Methods
- The purpose of a sampling method is to select a subset of a population to represent the entire population in a research study.
Types of Sampling Methods
- Stratified sampling has an advantage over simple random sampling because it ensures that every subgroup within the population is represented in the sample.
Probability and Non-Probability Sampling Methods
- Non-probability sampling methods include methods where not every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample.
Commonly Used Sampling Methods
- Simple random sampling is not the most commonly used sampling method in research studies.
Stratified Sampling
- Stratified sampling ensures that every subgroup within the population is represented in the sample.
Systematic Sampling
- Systematic sampling involves selecting every nth element from the population to be included in the sample.
