Study Notes

Types of Sampling

  • Sampling methods are used in statistics to select a subset of data from a larger population.

Non-Probability Sampling

  • Snowball sampling: a method where existing participants recruit future participants, often used when the population is hard to reach.
  • Convenience sampling: a method where participants are chosen based on their availability and ease of access.
  • Quota sampling: a method where participants are selected based on predetermined characteristics, such as age, gender, or occupation.

Probability Sampling

  • Simple random sampling: a method where every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
  • Systematic sampling: a method where every nth member of the population is selected.
  • Stratified sampling: a method where the population is divided into subgroups and a random sample is selected from each subgroup.
  • Cluster sampling: a method where the population is divided into groups and a random sample of groups is selected.
