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.

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

CONCLUSION
Various sampling techniques adopted for investigation
usually offers great advantages as to cost, time &
sometimeeven to quality of results .
