Key Terms
• Theoretical Population: group you are interested in generalizing to
• Accessible Population: population that will be accessible to you
• Sampling Frame: listing of the accessible population from which you'll draw your sample

Sampling Populations
![Page 6: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
More Key Terms• Response: is a specific measurement value
that a sampling unit supplies
• Statistic: Mean, Median, Mode, etc. (applies to samples)
• Parameter: measure the entire population and calculate a value like a mean or average constitutes a parameter, we don't refer to this as a standard deviation

Sampling Distribution• Sampling Distribution: The distribution of an
infinite number of samples of the same size as the sample in a given study
• Standard Error (AKA sampling error): The standard deviation of the sampling distribution– A standard deviation is the spread of the scores
around the average in a single sample. The standard error is the spread of the averages around the average of averages in a sampling distribution.

Sampling Error
• Standard Error: also called Sampling Error
• The greater your sample size, the smaller the standard error
• The smaller your sample size, the greater the standard error

Probability Sampling Method
Probability Sampling Method is any method of sampling that utilizes some form of random selection
![Page 13: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Basic Sampling Terms
Basic terms:
• N = the number of cases in the sampling frame
• n = the number of cases in the sample
• NCn = the number of combinations (subsets) of n from N
• f = n/N = the sampling fraction
![Page 14: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Random Sampling
Simple Random Sampling: (Simplest Form)
•Objective: To select n units out of N such that each NCn has an equal chance of being selected. •Procedure: Use a table of random numbers, a computer random number generator, or a mechanical device to select the sample.

Stratified Random Sampling
Stratified Random Sampling: Sometimes called proportional or quota random sampling, involves dividing the population into homogeneous subgroups and then taking a simple random sample in each subgroup.
![Page 17: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Stratified Random Sampling
• Objective: Divide population into non-overlapping
groups (i.e., strata)
N1, N2, N3, ... Ni,
such that
N1 + N2 + N3 + ... + Ni = N.
Then do a simple random sample of f = n/N in each strata.

Systematic Random Sampling
Systematic Random Sampling
• number the units in the population from 1 to N
• decide on the n (sample size) that you want or need
• k = N/n = the interval size
• randomly select an integer between 1 to k
• then take every kth unit

Cluster (Area) Random Sampling
Cluster (Area) Random Sampling: Used for sampling a population that is disbursed across a wide geographic
![Page 22: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cluster (Area) Random Sampling

• Randomly sample clusters
• Measure all units within sampled cluster

Accidental, Haphazard or Convenience Sampling
The traditional "man on the street" (of course, now it's probably the "person on the street") interviews conducted frequently by television news programs to get a quick (although non - representative) reading of public opinion
![Page 28: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Purposive Sampling
• Typically have one or more specific predefined groups we are seeking.
• For instance, sampling people in a mall or on the street who are carrying a clipboard and stopping such people and asking if they would be willing to be interviewed.
![Page 29: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Modal Instance Sampling
• Sampling the most frequent case, or the "typical" case
• In much informal public opinion polls, for instance, pollsters interview a "typical" voter
• Problems: – Who is typical? – Are elements of defining typical inclusive?
![Page 30: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Expert Sampling
• Involves the assembling of a sample of persons with known or demonstrable experience and expertise in some area
• Advantage: You aren't out on your own trying to defend your decisions -- you have some acknowledged experts to back you.
• Disadvantage: Even the experts can be, and often are, wrong.
![Page 31: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Quota Sampling: Proportional Quota Sampling
Proportional Quota Sampling: Want to represent the major characteristics of the population by sampling a proportional amount of each.
![Page 32: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Quota Sampling: Proportional Quota Sampling
• For instance, if you know the population has 40% women and 60% men, and that you want a total sample size of 100, you will continue sampling until you get those percentages and then you will stop. So, if you've already got the 40 women for your sample, but not the sixty men, you will continue to sample men but even if legitimate women respondents come along, you will not sample them because you have already"met your quota.”
![Page 33: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Quota Sampling: Non - Proportional Quota Sampling
Specify the minimum number of sampled units you want in each category. here, you're not concerned with having numbers that match the proportions in the population. Instead, you simply want to have enough to assure that you will be able to talk about even small groups in the population
![Page 34: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Heterogeneity Sampling
Sample for heterogeneity when we want to include all opinions or views, and we aren't concerned about representing these views proportionately. Another term for this is sampling for diversity.
![Page 35: Sampling Distribution Methods & Statistics Utilizing B. Trochim’s Center for Social Research Methods, 1998.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e5f5503460f94b590b8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Snowball Sampling
Begin by identifying someone who meets the criteria for inclusion in your study. Then ask respondent to recommend others who they may know who also meet the criteria
