Qouta Sampling
Probability sampling is a sampling technique, in which the subject of the population get an equal opportunity to be selected as a representative sample
Simple Random Sampling
Sampling is done by drawing lots or through the use of random numbers.
The best example of this is a fish bowl method
Example: A class list compromising of 50 names is cut into strips, rolled up, and put in a bowl. Ten strips (names) are then drawn from the bowl. The ten names that were picked are collectively called the simple random sample
Systematic Random Sampling is done by selecting every ith element in the population with the starting point determined at random
i = N/n
Systematic Random Sampling
Stratified Random Sampling is done by first dividing the population into a number of non- overlapping sub-populations or strata and then taking samples from each stratum
Stratified Random Sampling
Equal Allocation
Proportional Allocation
Equal Allocation
ni= n/k
n - intended sample size
k- no. of Strata or sub-populations
Proportional Allocation
ni= (Ni/N) n
Ni- Sub-population or stratum
n- Intended Sample Size
N - Population Size
Cluster Sampling is done by dividing the population into (geographical) groups called clusters
Non-probability sampling are chosen in such a way that some members of the population may not have any chance of being included in the sample
Convenience Sampling
Selecting those members of the population that are readily available in order to obtain quick results
Quota Sampling
Choosing members for the sample with no other criteria or objective but to obtain a certain target number whether or not based on the proportion of each stratum with the population
Sampling Distribution of Sample Means is a frequency distribution using the means computed from all possible random samples of a specific size taken from a population.
N !__ n!(N-n)!
N = population size
n = sample size
x = sample mean
μ = population mean
P(x) = corresponding probability
Steps in Constructing the Sampling Distribution of Sample Means
Determine the number of sets of all possible random sample that can be drawn from the given population by using the formula, ɴCn, where N is the population size and n is the sample size.
List all the possible samples and compute the mean of each sample.
Construct the sampling distribution.
Construct a histogram
The mean of all values in the population - Population Mean
