Study Notes

Types of Sampling

  • There are two main types of sampling: non-probability sampling and probability sampling

Non-Probability Sampling

  • Snowball sampling: a technique where existing subjects refer the researcher to additional subjects
  • Convenience sampling: involves selecting participants based on their availability and ease of access
  • Quota sampling: a non-probability sampling method where participants are selected based on predetermined characteristics

Probability Sampling

  • Simple random sampling: every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected
  • Systematic sampling: involves selecting every 'nth' member of the population
  • Stratified sampling: involves dividing the population into subgroups and selecting participants from each subgroup
  • Cluster sampling: involves dividing the population into smaller groups or clusters and selecting participants from each cluster
