Understand . . .• The two premises on which sampling theory is

based.• The accuracy and precision for measuring

sample validity.• The five questions that must be answered to

develop a sampling plan.

Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives

Understand . . . • The two categories of sampling techniques

and the variety of sampling techniques within each category.

• The various sampling techniques and when each is used.

“In recent Gallup ‘Poll on polls,’ . . . When asked about the scientific sampling foundation on which polls are based . . . most said that a survey of 1,500 – 2,000 respondents—a larger than average sample size for national polls—cannot represent the views of all Americans.”

Simple RandomSimple Random

Advantages•Easy to implement with random dialing

Disadvantages•Requires list of population elements•Time consuming•Larger sample needed•Produces larger errors•High cost

Page 16: Sampling

14-16

SystematicSystematic

Advantages•Simple to design•Easier than simple random•Easy to determine sampling distribution of mean or proportion

Disadvantages•Periodicity within population may skew sample and results•Trends in list may bias results•Moderate cost

Page 17: Sampling

14-17

StratifiedStratified

Advantages•Control of sample size in strata•Increased statistical efficiency•Provides data to represent and analyze subgroups•Enables use of different methods in strata

Disadvantages•Increased error if subgroups are selected at different rates•Especially expensive if strata on population must be created •High cost

Page 18: Sampling

14-18

Cluster Cluster

Advantages•Provides an unbiased estimate of population parameters if properly done•Economically more efficient than simple random•Lowest cost per sample•Easy to do without list

Disadvantages•Often lower statistical efficiency due to subgroups being homogeneous rather than heterogeneous•Moderate cost

Page 19: Sampling

14-19

Stratified and Cluster SamplingStratified and Cluster Sampling

Stratified•Population divided into few subgroups•Homogeneity within subgroups•Heterogeneity between subgroups•Choice of elements from within each subgroup

Cluster•Population divided into many subgroups•Heterogeneity within subgroups•Homogeneity between subgroups•Random choice of subgroups

Double SamplingDouble Sampling

Advantages•May reduce costs if first stage results in enough data to stratify or cluster the population

Disadvantages•Increased costs if discriminately used
