• Types of Random Sampling.
• How to select a random sample.

Problem : Relationship
between stress levels and smoking among university
students
3
Population of all university students in Malaysia = 12,000
Population of university students in UITM = 4,000
Population of male students = 1,400
10% Populations of UITM first year male students = 140
Research question : You would like to know the number of cigarettes the average university students smokes
4
Definition of a Sample
• A small group of people studied to collect information to draw conclusion about the larger group
Sample
• Process of selecting the people (individuals) to be observed ( studied)Sampling
5
Example of sample within a population
Sample:
information obtained
Population:
results of studies applied here

Questions: Can a Sample & Population have the same groups of people?
Smokers at University
All smokers
7
Population – Smokers at University
Sample – Year 1 university students who are smokers
Discussion: How to select Sample?
Effects of eating “Nasi Lemak” for breakfast on young students.
Teachers view about teaching Math and Science in Bahasa Malaysia.
Students addiction to computer games and poor grades.

How to define the population
9
Stage 1: Define the population
• Who can you administer the results to?
• Any size
• Need to have at least one characteristic different from other population
Stage 2 : Identify “Who” or “What”
• Educator
• Object
TARGET vs. ACCESSIBLE POPULATION
• Ideal group/actual group researchers like to generalize
• Rarely availableTARGET
• Those who researchers are able to generalize
• Actual choiceACCESSIBLE
10
Advantages of defining & narrowing population
11
Money Time Effort
Random vs. Non-random-Sampling
Random Non-RandomSampling (Purposive)
All have equal and independent chance
Chosen based on a criteria
Selects a representative of population
No equal chance
Should be large and random Some have no chance at all
No bias Some types show biasness
12
Random Sampling Methods
(A) Simple Random Sampling
(B) Stratified Random Sampling
(C) Cluster Random Sampling
(D) Two-stage Random Sampling
13
(A) Simple Random Sampling ( 1 of 2)
• Each individual has equal and independent chance of selection
• The larger the sample, the more it represents the population
• Any differences is not due to biasness
14
Simple Random Sampling (2 of 2)
• Method of finding individuals :
15
Use a table of random numbers ( statistic book)
Choose any number on the
column
Read the numbers to select your
sample
Using the Table of Random Numbers
• Step 1: Select column of numbers
• Step 2: Choose any number on the column
• Step 3: Read the first 4 digits ( if you have population of 4 digits)
• Step 4: Pick out numbers and write them down.
16
Exercise: Select the first 30 numbers for a population of 300.

Answer:
• Looking at column 1:– Selected individuals are :
• 099
• 122
• 644
• 162
• 234
• 344
• 092
• 009
• 230
18
(B) Stratified Random Sampling
• Certain ‘strata’ selected
• Sample in same proportion as they exist in the population
• Advantages: Increases likelihood of representativeness
19
Calculating Stratified Random Sampling
• Step 1: Identify the target ( accessible) population
• Step 2: Select the ratio of their relationship
• Step 3: Determine the % of target population used as sample
• Step 4: Calculate the % sample for each strata
• Step 5: Use Table of random numbers to find the individuals in the respective strata
20
Select gender individuals as they exist in the population ( 365)
Female
• 60 %
• 60 % of 365 = 219
Male
• 40%
• 40 % of 365 = 146
21
Therefore, Female : Male 60 : 40219 : 146
Now, select 40 % of each strata as your representative…
Female : Male88 : 58
(C ) Cluster Random Sampling
• Ideal to include certain groups/ cluster
• However at times it is not possible to select individual due to
• Time
• Effort
• Select individuals based on ( not individuals)• Groups
• Clusters
• Subjects

Selected schools chosen as clusters
Cluster random sampling…
Advantages
Disadvantages
24
Common mistake made with Cluster random sampling.
• Randomly selecting only one cluster as a sample and choosing to interview/ survey all
• Cluster must be randomly selected not individuals
25
(D) Two-stage Random Sampling
• Combination of Cluster random sampling and individual random sampling
– First select clusters randomly
– Then select students randomly from the clusters.
