This module was designed and written with you in mind on how you can identify the
different random sampling techniques as applied in solving real-life situated
problems. It is here to help you realize the use and importance of selecting the
appropriate type of random sampling method that can yield significant results in
your future researches. This module was written and intended for senior high
students like you who are taking Statistics and Probability subject. Your adept
analysis will help you appreciate the richness, and beauty of this subject which will
motivate you to apply to similar situations and develop your own statistical
procedures.
The module contains only one lesson which is illustrating random sampling. It offers
relevant problems or situations which will help you understand what are being
tackled in this module. Your ability to interpret, reason – out, and make a judgment
or even decision out of statistical measures will also be practiced here.

A population includes all of its elements from a set of data. The size of the population
is the number of observations in the population. For example, if ABS-CBN network
has 11,000 employees having the required blood type in a certain study, then we
have a population of size 11,000.
Sample consists of one or more data drawn from the population. It is a subset or an
incomplete set taken from a population of objects or observations. Taking samples
instead of the population is less time-consuming and cost-effective. Although
sampling has advantages, it can also be a source of bias and inaccuracy.

You already knew that random sampling is a method of selecting a sample from a
population in such a way that every member of the population has an equal chance
to be chosen as part of the sample. Do you know that we have four ways to randomly
select our sample? Yes, we have four types of random sampling which you will be
able to define and differentiate in the following activities.
Column A Column B
II. You’ve just familiarized yourself with the keywords related to random sampling.
Now you are ready to distinguish its different types. Use your understanding of
the previous activity to identify whether the following situations illustrate simple,
systematic, stratified or cluster random sampling.
1. A researcher writes the name of each student on a piece of paper, mixes the
papers in a bowl, and draws 7 pieces of paper.
3. A researcher tells the class to count off and then selects those students who
count a multiple of 7 numbers.
4. A researcher separates the list of boys and girls, then draws 7 names by
gender.

4. A researcher separates the list of boys and girls, then draws 7 names by
gender.
Situation 5 illustrates cluster sampling since all students are divided into
clusters or classes, then 3 classes are selected at random out of the 7
classes. All of the students of these three classes comprised the samples
of the study. Take note that each cluster is mutually homogeneous yet
internally heterogeneous.
b. Systematic random sampling is a random sampling that uses a list of all the
elements in the population and then elements are being selected based on the
kth consistent intervals. To get the kth interval, divide the population size by
the sample size.
Cluster Sampling
The sampling techniques that involve random selection are called probability
sampling. Likewise, simple random, systematic, and stratified and cluster sampling
are all probability sampling techniques.
Purposive sampling is also not considered a random sampling since the respondents
are being selected based on the goal of the studies of the researcher. If the study is
about the students who are children of OFW, the researcher will get samples who are
children of OFW. This excludes other students from being a sample.

Answer the following questions briefly. Use a separate paper for your answers.
4. Suppose you wanted to know the proportion of students who wear glasses on
campus and you immediately went ahead and surveyed only the students in
your class. What sampling technique did you see?
