Solution: This is a cluster sample because all the elements within the clusters are selected. (Example: All parents who attended selected clinics in the Chicago). The primary sampling unit (psu): Clinics in the Chicago. The secondary sampling unit (ssu): Households with guns (parents who

Population and Sampling MTH/231 Fahad M. Gohar Statistical data dates back to as early as Ancient Greek time‚ where it was introduced by John Graunt‚ William Petty and Pascal in the 16th century. It was then re-introduced by Gottfriend Achenwall in the 17th century. This was a very exciting time for scientists‚ astronomers and physicists alike as it raised the confidence and knowing that the laws of nature were not of divine intervention. As the years went on‚ new mathematical

populations Because it is impossible to count all the members of a large community‚ some form of sampling has to be used. The size of the sample depends on the area to be investigated‚ but can be shown on a graph as shown (right): Beyond this point‚ more samples (= more work) does not increase the reliability of the results. Ideal sample size AQA are very keen that you should know the importance of random sampling. This is essential to avoid bias. In fieldwork‚ this is done by: 1. Lay out two tapes at

Sampling Procedures There are many sampling procedures that have been developed to make sure that a sample really represents the target population. Simple Random Sampling In simple random sampling‚ every individual in the target population has an equal chance of being part of the sample. This requires two steps: 1. Obtain a complete list of the population. 2. Randomly select individuals from that list for the sample. In a study where the unit of analysis is the student‚ the researcher

Sampling methodologies Sampling It may be defined as a process of selecting units that may be people‚ organizations etc‚ from a larger whole i.e. from a population of interest‚ so that by studying the sample we may come up with general characteristics of the entire population under consideration. Types of sampling methods: Probability sampling Probability sampling is a type of sampling that includes random selection. And in order to achieve random selection‚ it must be
