    This document discusses the advantages of sampling over a complete count for surveys. Sampling provides considerable savings in time and labor since only a representative part of the population needs to be examined. It also results in reduced costs and the ability to obtain results more rapidly. Sampling allows for greater accuracy of results since sampling errors can be determined and non-sampling errors can be better controlled. It provides a greater scope for thorough inquiry as more detailed information can be obtained from a small sample. Sampling is also necessary when the population is too large to count completely or when testing would be destructive to the items being examined.

    Advantages of Sampling

    over Complete Count


    Presenter
    Dr. S M Shafiqul Islam
    Professor of Statistics
    Less time- There is considerable saving in time and
    labor since only a representative part of the population
    has to be examined. The sampling results can be
    obtained more rapidly and the data can be analyzed
    much faster since relatively fewer data have to be
    collected and processed.
    Reduced cost of the survey- Sampling usually results in
    reduction in cost in terms of money and in terms of
    man hours. Since in most of the cases our resources
    are limited in terms of money and the time within
    which the results of the survey should be obtained, it is
    usually imperative to resort to sampling rather than
    complete enumeration.
    Greater accuracy of results- The results of a sample survey are much
    more reliable than those obtained from a complete census due to the
    following reasons:
    It is always possible to determine the extent of the sampling error.
    The non-sampling error due to number of factors such as training of
    field workers, measuring and recording observations, biases due to
    interviewers, etc. are likely to be of a serious nature in complete census
    than in a sample survey. In a sample survey non-sampling errors can be
    controlled more effectively by employing more qualified and better
    trained personnel, better supervision. Effective control of non-sampling
    errors more than compensates the errors in the estimates due to
    sampling. As such more sophisticated statistical techniques can be
    employed to obtain relatively more reliable results.
    Greater scope- Sample survey has generally
    greater scope as compared with complete
    census. Since sample survey saves in time
    and money, it is possible to have a thorough
    and intensive enquiry because a more
    detailed information can be obtained from a
    small group of respondents.
    Population is too large- If the population is too
    large, as for example, trees in a jungle, we are
    left with no way but to resort to sampling.
    Testing is destructive- If testing is destructive,
    i.e., if the quality of an article can be
    determined only by destroying the article in
    the process of testing, for example:
    Testing the breaking strength of chalks,
    Testing crackers and explosives,
    Testing the life of an electric bulb etc.
    complete enumeration is impracticable and
    sampling technique is the only method to be
    used in such cases.
