Study Notes
Stratified Samples
- A population is divided into two or more groups according to a specific characteristic.
- A simple random sample is taken from each group.
- The samples are combined into one.
Sampling Error
- Random error arises when the sample selected is not representative of the population due to chance.
- The uncertainty associated with an estimate based on a sample is known as sampling error.
- If no estimate is available for uncertainty, it is set at 50% (or 0.50).
Sample Size Calculation Formula
- Assumes an absolute precision of 0.05.
- Formula is: n = (1.96)2 (0.5) (0.5) / (0.05) 2
- Results in a sample size of 384.
Planning Before Fieldwork
- A work plan should be developed, including timelines and logistics.
- Financing and budget should be secured.
- Instruments for data collection need to be developed.
- A sample of households should be drawn.
- A training manual should be created.
- A pilot test should be conducted.
Hypothesis Testing
- Hypotheses can be divided into two: Null and Alternative Hypotheses.
- The Null Hypothesis (H0) is the statement that there is no difference or effect.
- The Alternative Hypothesis (H1) is the statement that there is a difference or effect.
- Both hypotheses should be mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
- The Alternative Hypothesis usually contains the research hypothesis.
