Abstract

A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population (Kothari, 1988). Sample constitutes a certain portion of the population or universe. Sampling design refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher adopts for selecting items for the sample from the population or universe.  A sample design helps to decide the number of items to be included in the sample, i.e., the size of the sample.  The sample design should be determined prior to data collection.  There are different kinds of sample designs which a researcher can choose.  Some of them are relatively more precise and easier to adopt than the others. A researcher should prepare or select a sample design, which must be reliable and suitable for the research study proposed to be undertaken.

 

A  researcher should take into consideration the following aspects while developing a sample design:

  • Type of Universe
  • Sampling Unit
  • Source List
Size of Sample
