Sampling is a fundamental aspect of research methodology that allows researchers to draw conclusions about a larger population without studying every individual within that population. In this article, we'll explore key statistical terms related to sampling, the sampling process, different sampling designs, and the importance of sample size, precision, and confidence. Key Statistical Terms in Sampling Population : The entire group under study, from which a sample is drawn. Element : A single member of the population. Sample : A subset of the population selected for the study. Sampling Unit : The basic unit containing elements of the population that are sampled. Subject : A single member of the sample. Parameters : Characteristics of the population such as mean, variance, etc. Sample Characteristics : Should ideally mirror the population characteristics for accurate representation. The Sampling Process The sampling process involves several steps to ensure that the sample accurately ...
