SAMPLING
Research Design:
Descriptive research: it includes surveys and fact-finding enquiries of different kind. The
major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs.
Here the sample plan employed is the probabilistic one because it is possible to pre-
specify every potential sample of a given size that could be drawn from the population. And it is
possible to specify the probability of selecting any particular sample of a given size. Moreover,
it also evaluates in quantitative terms, the relative efficiency of alternative sampling techniques
in a given situation and requires relatively little universe knowledge i.e. --- a way of identifying
each universe element uniquely and the total number of universe elements.
In this research design, the researcher is able to define the population clearly and got
the adequate method for measuring the responses, and this design gives enough protection
against bias and maximizes the reliability of the study.
STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLES:
Large samples can be made use of and thus the results can be made
more reliable and dependable.
