Sampling Methodologies Population: Population is defined as including all items with the characteristic one wishes to understand. Because there is seldom enough time or money to gather information from everyone or everything in a population‚ the goal is to find a representative sample (or subset) of that population. For example‚ a researcher might study the success rate of a new ’quit smoking’ program on a sample group of 50 patients‚ in order to predict the effects of the program if it were

There are many ways to select a random sample. Four of them are discussed below: Simple Random Sampling: In this sampling technique‚ each sample of the same size has the same probability of being selected. Such a sample is called a simple random sample. One way to select a simple random sample is by a lottery or drawing. For example‚ if we need to select 5 students from a class of 50‚ we write each of the 50 names on a separate piece of paper. Then‚ we place all 50 names in a hat and mix them thoroughly
