SAMPLING WHY?
Complete enumeration impossible if population is infinite Results required in short time Area of survey wide Resources for survey limited in respect of money and trained persons

Principle of statistical regularity Principle of inertia of large numbers Principle of validity Principle of optimisation

Basic building block of sampling Sample from a homogeneous group of units How? Physically make draws at random of the units under study -lottery method Computer selection methods: Random tables

Systematic Sampling
Why? Easy Can be very efficient depending on the structure of the population How? Get a random start in the population Sample every kth unit for some chosen number k

Cluster Sampling
Why? Convenience and cost The frame or list of population units may be Defined only for the clusters and not the units How? Take a simple random sample of clusters and Measure all units in the cluster

Two-Stage Sampling
Why? Cost and convenience Lack of a complete frame How? Take either a simple random sample or an unequal Probability sample of primary units and then within a Primary take a simple random sample of secondary units
