Sampling
Types of Sampling
1. Systematic Sampling
Systematic sampling is a statistical method
involving the selection of elements from an ordered
sampling frame. The most common form of
systematic sampling is an 1) equal-probability
method, in which every kth element in the frame is
selected, where k, the sampling interval
(sometimes known as the 'skip'), is calculated as:
sample size (n) = population size (N)/k.
This involves selecting every nth item in the
population. The interval is derived by dividing the
population number by the sample size. A random
starting point is selected. Technically, it is a
practical approach that approximates the random
sample.
2. Statistical Sampling
3. Non-statistical Sampling
b. Random Sampling
This is a selection procedure whereby each
item in the population has a known and equal
chance of being selected. Random number
tables or certain computer softwares may be
used to generate a random sample. Following
ISO 24153:2009, random sampling and
randomization procedures may also be used.
Several methods are provided, including
approaches based on mechanical devices,
tables of random numbers, and portable
computer algorithms.
d. Stratified Sampling
