Sample Size

  • How big should the sample be?
  • Based on other’s previous study on how they got their sample
  • Ensure the representativeness or accuracy of sample size

Sampling Technique

- Two types: probability sampling and non-probability sampling - Bias is one of the causes of sampling errors (sampling procedure must be accurate)

Heterogeneity of Population

Heterogeneous population is composed of individuals with varied abilities. There is a wide variation among the people composing the population.

Statistical Techniques

The accuracy of the sample depends also on how precise or accurate your methods are in calculating the numbers used in measuring the chosen samples or in giving a certain value to each of them. Any error in your use of any statistical method or computing numbers representing the selected subjects will turn in unfounded results.

Time & Cost

- Consider the amount of money you will fork out for the materials you will need in getting your sample - time and effort should also be considered in choosing your sample
