Key Definitions
arbitrary approach
conventional approach
cost basis approach
statistical approach – confidence
interval method
4-5
Tatang A Gumanti
Arbitrary Approach
x % of the population
simple and easy to apply
this approach is neither efficient nor economical
Example shoe research:
Population (runner) – 10,000 – 5% sample 500
Population (basketball) - 100,000 – 5% sample 5000
Could there be a 10 times difference between runners
and basketball player? – No
arbitrary method - lose sight of the accuracy aspect
of sampling & not economical when population is
large

Sample size using a mean
s2 z2
n = e2
n = the sample size
z = standard error associated with the chosen level of
confidence (1.96) (95%)
s = variability indicated by an est. standard dev.
e = allowable error in the sample estimate of the population

Adjusting the statistically determined sample
size
sample size calculated refers to the final number
of completed surveys
Incidence rate – rate of occurrence or the % of
persons eligible to participate in the study - -if
the (sample frame)data base is comprised of
females aged 20-60, but study is based on
female head of households aged 25-55. 75%
meet criteria - on average need to contact 1.33
respondents to get 1 completed questionnaire

Stratified
Sampling the population is divided into strata, such as women and men,
black and white, etc., from which random samples are drawn

Measurement and Scaling
Note: there are also many other factors to consider when designing
a questionnaire
4-46
Tatang A Gumanti
Measurement scales
Nominal Scale
numbers assigned to the object serve as labels for
identification i.e. gender (male, female); store type;
accommodation type
(mode, frequency, percentage)
Ordinal Scale
a scale that arranges objects or alternatives according
to their magnitude in an ordered relationship i.e.
preference ranking for a product; social class
(median, semi-interquartile range)
4-47
Tatang A Gumanti
Measurement scales
Interval Scale
a scale that both arranges objects according to their
magnitude and also distinguishes this ordered
arrangements in units of equal intervals i.e. attitudes,
opinions (5 point likert scale)
(mean, standard deviation, variance, range)
Ratio Scale
a scale that has absolute rather than relative quantities i.e.
income, sales, costs, market share
possess an absolute zero point and interval properties
(mean, standard deviation, variance + all lower level
descriptive statistics)
