Research Methodology
General type of sampling; each member of the population has a known non-zero probability of being selected
Probability Sampling
the purest form of probability sampling wherein each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected
Random sampling
also called an Nth name selection technique wherein after the required sample size has been calculated, every Nth record is selected from a list of population members
Systematic sampling
commonly used probability method because it reduces sampling error
Stratified sampling
a subset of population that share at least one common characteristic
Stratum SR
a sample size large enough for us to be reasonably confident that the stratum represents the population
Sufficient SR
General type of sampling; members are selected from the population in some nonrandom manner
Non-probability sampling
used in exploratory research wherein the researcher is interested in getting an inexpensive approximation of the truth
Convenience sampling
a common non-probability method wherein the researcher selects the sample based on judgment
Judgment sampling
equivalent of stratified sampling wherein the researcher first identifies the stratums and their proportions as they are represented in the population
Quota sampling
