Document Summary

Sampling tech that proceeds in stages and gives each sampling unit an equal chance of being selected at each stage. There is no list to draw upon for sampling. List and randomly select the primary sampling units. This may be subsections of cities like wards or zones or census tract areas. We would use street directories and list all the subsections of the cities and number them. Then we use simple random sampling or systematic sampling to select a sample of subsections - suppose to picked 4 subsections: 2. List and randomly select the secondary sampling units. The primary sampling units would be the subsections. The city blocks would be the secondary sampling units - graph 5: 3. List and randomly select the final sampling units. Then you may contact the households asking if they would be willing to participate in the questionnaire. Involves sampling tech that are not based on random selection.
