Study Notes
Sampling Techniques
- Stratified Sampling: dividing a population into smaller sub-groups (strata) based on characteristics such as age, gender, religion, etc. to obtain a sample that best represents the entire population.
Stratification
- Divide the sample into subgroups before drawing random samples
- Level and total number of samples are taken into account to ensure proportional representation
Multistage Sampling
- Drawing a sample from a population using smaller and smaller groups at each stage
- Example: selecting 50 responses per city from a larger population
Purposive Sampling
- Selecting samples based on the judgment of the survey taker or researcher
- Biased estimate, only suitable for specific purposes
Snowball Sampling
- Non-probability sampling method where current participants help recruit future subjects
- Used when finding participants is difficult
- Example: asking individuals to name influential people in their community for a study on leadership patterns
Sampling Error and Confidence Level
- Level of precision: the range in which the true value is estimated to be (e.g., ±5%)
- Confidence level: the risk level, where 95% is a common standard
- Confidence level determines the sample size required to achieve a certain level of precision
Variability
- Measured by range, interquartile range, standard deviation, and variance
- Variability in normal distributions follows a bell-shaped curve
- Example: phone usage times among different groups of people, with varying levels of variability
