Stratified Sampling

Stratified sampling involves dividing a population into homogeneous subgroups called strata based on characteristics. Researchers then take probability samples from each strata to estimate measures for each subgroup. This method ensures proper representation of all population characteristics and is best when subgroups are expected to have different mean values for variables of interest.

STRATIFIED SAMPLING

 In a stratified sample, researchers divide a population into homogeneous subpopulations


called strata (the plural of stratum) based on specific characteristics (e.g., race, gender
identity, location, etc.). Every member of the population studied should be in exactly one
stratum.
 Each stratum is then sampled using another probability sampling method, such as
cluster or simple random sampling, allowing researchers to estimate statistical measures
for each sub-population.
 Researchers rely on stratified sampling when a population’s characteristics are diverse
and they want to ensure that every characteristic is properly represented in the sample.
 Stratified sampling is the best choice among the probability sampling methods when you
believe that subgroups will have different mean values for the variable(s) you’re
studying.

STEPS & GUIDE ON HOW TO USE STRATEFIED SAMPLING:


Step 1: Define your population and subgroups
Step 2: Separate the population into strata
Step 3: Decide on the sample size for each stratum
Step 4: Randomly sample from each stratum
