INTRODUCTION
SAMPLE:
The limited number of items selected from the larger
group which itself represents the whole population.
 POPULATION:
The larger group of items having common
measurable characteristics.
 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE :
refers to those methods which are used for making judgments
and taking actions based on sample.
NEED:
It saves time , money and energy.

METHOD I
SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING
 Every unit has equal and individual chance of getting
selected.
Method of selection –Specified and Objective.

MERITS DEMERITS
•Easy to use. •Requires up to date
knowledge.
•Eliminate personal •Time consuming and

STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING
It is used when population is heterogeneous in
nature .
Techniques of stratification(division into different
layers or groups) is used.

convenience.
SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING
Only the first sample unit is selected at random
Other units are automatically selected
It is in a definite sequence at equal spacing from one
another.

MERITS DEMERITS
 Complete and accurate list
Easy to operate
of sample is
needed
Save time and labour
Relative efficiency depends
upon properties of
population
CLUSTER SAMPLING
Used when area is big.
Area divided into small overlapping areas called CLUSTER.
Necessary condition for validity:
 Size of cluster should be small.
 Every unit of population must belong to only one cluster.

MERITS DEMERITS
•More economical •Less efficient
•Easy to operate
MULTI-STAGE SAMPLING
First selecting a cluster
Second selecting some elements from the selected cluster
MERITS:
More flexible as compared to other methods of sampling.
Different sampling techniques can be used at different stages.
DEMERITS:
Errors are likely to be greater due to variability of the
estimates .

PURPOSIVE/JUDGEMENTAL SAMPLING
Based on hand picking of the individual elements.
Selection is done by choice not by chance .

MERITS:
Useful information can be obtained .
DEMERITS:
Influenced by personal biasness.
CONVENIENCE SAMPLING
Consists of simply taking da case that are available
MERITS:
 convenient to use
• DEMERITS:
 Personal baiseness
QUOTA SAMPLING
Used when population size is large and abundant.
Used to improve representativeness of the study.

MERITS:
Used in surveys particularly in the commercial world .
 Used to reduce the cost of surveys.
DEMERITS :
Baiseness is there.
SNOWBALL(CHAIN)SAMPLING
Special type of non probability sampling where
respondents are difficult to identify .
MERITS :
Reduced sample size and costs.
DEMERITS:
Baiseness is likely to enter
ADVANTAGES OF SAMPLING
TECHNIQUE
SPEED
ECONOMY
SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
LEADS TO GOOD RESULTS.
CONCLUSION
Various sampling techniques adopted for investigation
usually offers great advantages as to cost, time &
sometimeeven to quality of results .

Simple random & purposive sampling techniques are mostly


used at M.Sc. & PhD level.

Multistage sampling and stratified sampling should be used


to get proper representation of population.
