    Study Notes

    Types of Sampling

    • There are two main categories of sampling methods used in statistics: Non-Probability Sampling and Probability Sampling.

    Non-Probability Sampling

    • Snowball sampling is a method where existing study subjects refer others to participate in the study.
    • Convenience sampling involves selecting participants based on their availability and proximity to the researcher.
    • Quota sampling involves dividing the population into subgroups and selecting participants based on predetermined characteristics.

    Probability Sampling

    • Simple random sampling involves randomly selecting participants from the population using a randomization process.
    • Systematic sampling involves selecting every nth individual from a list or population.
    • Stratified sampling involves dividing the population into subgroups and randomly selecting participants from each subgroup.
    • Cluster sampling involves dividing the population into smaller groups or clusters and randomly selecting participants from each cluster.
