I. OUTCOMES OF LEARNING
SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
In research, it is important that researchers understand the right ways of selecting a sampling method for
the research. In order to utilize the time of the researchers since they are working with samples to collect data and
information of their respondents from a large population. The illustration below will show the relationship of
population and sample:
Population – consists of the entire group that is the subject of the study.
Sampling – process of selecting participants from the population.
Sample – group of people which are members of the population and data will be collected from them.
The process of selecting participants must be done carefully and fairly to avoid biased samples.

SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION
Sampling distribution is generally the probability distribution of the population data of a sample statistic. It
can be applied in two ways: (1) sampling with replacement and (2) sampling without replacement. In sampling with
replacement, it is when the two sample values are independent. On the other hand, the two sample values in
sampling without replacement are not independent.
The following formulas will be used to easily compute and understand the applications of sampling distribution:

Define the sampling distribution of the sample mean for a normal population when the variance is
known and when it is unknown.
The Standard Error of the Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean
The General Properties of the Sampling Distribution of the Sample Mean 𝑋̅:
The mean value of 𝑋̅ is equal to the population mean, 𝜇𝑥 = 𝜇.
The formula for the standard deviation of an infinite population or sampling with replacement is
𝜎
𝜎𝑥 = .
√𝑛
The formula for the standard deviation of a finite population or sampling without replacement is
𝑁−𝑛
𝜎𝑥= 𝜎 • √ .
√𝑛 𝑁−1
𝑁−𝑛
√ = Finite Population Correction Factor. This quantity is close to 1 if the population is large and the
𝑁−1
sample size is relatively small.
Note: These properties emphasize that the sample mean can be used to estimate the population mean, 𝜇.
Remember:
The Standard Deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is also called the standard error.
The standard error of the sample mean is given by:
𝜎
𝑠𝑡𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑟(𝑥) = √𝑉(𝑥) =
√𝑛
Note: The Standard Error of the Sampling distribution of the sample means decreases as the sample size
increases.
Examples:
1. A random sample of size 50 is taken from a large population with mean 𝜇 = 160 and standard deviation
𝜎 = 18.
a. What is the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean?
Solution:
When a random sample of size 50 is taken from a population with mean 𝜇 = 160, the mean of the
sample mean is given by
𝜇𝑥 = 𝜇 = 160.
b. What is the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample means?
Solution:
When a random sample of size 50 is taken from a population with standard deviation 𝜎 = 18, the
standard error is given by

Population – consists of the entire group that is the subject of the study.
Sampling – process of selecting participants from the population.
Sample – group of people which are members of the population and data will be collected from them.
Sampling Techniques:
• Probability sampling techniques: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified
sampling and Cluster sampling
