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.
