    Sampling involves selecting a subset of a population to gather data and make inferences about the entire population. There are two main categories of sampling plans: probability sampling, where every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected, and non-probability sampling, where selection is non-random. Some common non-probability techniques include purposive sampling, quota sampling, convenience sampling, and snowball sampling. The general steps in sampling are to identify the target and accessible populations, determine the appropriate sample size and method, select the sample according to the plan, and obtain participant cooperation.

    Sample

    Definitions
    Sampling involves selecting a group of people, events, behaviors, or other elements with which to conduct a study. Sampling plan defines the process of making the selection Sample defines the selected group of people or elements. Population or target population is the entire set of individuals or elements who meet the sampling criteria. Sampling criteria lists the characteristics essential for membership in the target population Accessible population is the portion of the target population which the researchers has reasonable access. Elements are the entries that make up the sample or the population. Sampling frame is a list of all cases, objects, or groups of cases in the populations. Generalizing means that the findings can be applied to the population. Representativeness means that the sample must be like the population in as many ways as possible. Categories of Sampling Plans Probability sampling: a process in which each element of the population has an equal chance of being chosen for the sample. There is randomization. Non-probability sampling: elements are selected by non random methods Non-probability Techniques Purposive or Judgmental: Subjects are handpicked to be included in the sample, based upon the researchers knowledge of the sample units Quota sampling Researchers identify strata of the population and then determine how many participants are needed from each stratum to meet a quota. Accidental, Convenience, incidental Utilizes readily available subjects Snowball or network Subjects acts as information who identify others for inclusion in the sample who in turn leads to more samples

    Steps in sampling General Outline of procedures 1. Identify the target population 2. Identify the accessible population 3. Decide the sample size and how the sample will be taken 4. Decide the sample according to the designated plan 5. Obtain the subjects cooperation N.B. the steps may vary from one sampling design to another
