Simple random sampling = A process of selecting subjects in such a way that each member of the population has an equal likelihood of being selected; you can throw all your subjects into a hat and draw them out one by one, or assign each member a number and choose every fifth number to be a participant.

Probability sampling=A sampling procedure in which the probability that each element of the population will be included in the sample can be specified; you have a specific number of subjects and you know that they have a 50/50 chance of being chosen, or because of an anomaly, they may only have a 20/100 chance of being chosen for the experiment.

*Your teacher is being tricky however, because there are 4 basic types of Probability sampling and simple random sampling is one of them. Also are stratified, systematic and cluster sampling. All four fall under the general title of Probability Sampling (P.S.)!! P.S. is kinda like the category and the 4 types are just different ways to do the sample, each has their own "little differences" in how the data is collected and assigned.

What is sampling in research?

Sampling techniques in researching involves to types of sampling. The probability sampling and the non-probability sampling. Simple random is an example of probability sampling.


What is sampling examine well known methods of probability and nonprobability sampling in statistic?

Non probability sampling and probability sampling are different because probability sampling uses random samples. Non probability sampling aren't random, but can still be representative of the population as a whole if done correctly.


What is the Difference between random and systematic sampling?

Random sampling is picking a subject at random. Systematic sampling is using a pattern to pick subjects, I.e. picking every third person.


What is the difference between Sampling error vs sampling bias?

Sampling error leads to random error. Sampling bias leads to systematic error.


The usual sampling distributionof the difference between means is a what?

There is no such thing as "the usual sampling distribution". Different distributions of the original random variables will give different distributions for the difference between their means.There is no such thing as "the usual sampling distribution".

There are many such methods: cluster sampling, stratified random sampling, simple random sampling.Their usefulness depends on the circumstances.


What is differences between convenience and incidental sampling?

The difference between convenience and incidental sampling is that convenience sampling chooses the easiest people to reach when a sampling is done, whereas incidental sampling is done at random.


What is the difference between simple random sampling and systematic random sampling?

simple random sample is to select the sample in random method but systematic random sample is to select the sample in particular sequence (ie 1st 11th 21st 31st etc.)• Simple random sample requires that each individual is separately selected but systematic random sample does not selected separately.• In simple random sampling, for each k, each sample of size k has equal probability of being selected as a sample but it is not so in systematic random sampling.


What is the difference between stratified and random sampling?

In a stratified sample, the sampling proportion is the same for each stratum. In a random sample it should be but, due to randomness, need not be.
