Data & its types Census Vs Survey Types of survey Survey tools Sampling & its types Conclusions Scheme of Presentation
Data Information Numerical form
Types of Data Different criteria Rawdata/processeddata Quantitative/qualitative Discrete/continues Univariable/multi-variable Primary Vs Secondary
Census Vs Survey • Less time • Less cost • Less labour • More accurate • Only method
Types of Survey Primary Survey – Two Parties Surveyor/Investigator/Invigilator & Respondent Field Survey – Single Party + Instruments Secondary Survey?

Important statistical terms Population: a set which includes all measurements of interest to the researcher (The collection of all responses, measurements, or counts that are of interest) Sample: A subset of the population
Sampling • The process of drawing a number of individual cases from a larger population • A way to learn about a larger population by obtaining information from a subset of a larger population • Example s….
Types of Sampling Probability and Non-probability sampling Probability sampling • Simple (Unrestricted) Random Sampling • Complex (Restricted) Probability Sampling: Some times offer more efficient alternatives to Simple Random Sampling b. Stratified Random Sampling c. Multistage Sampling a. Systematic Sampling d. Convenience Sampling • e. Cluster Sampling
Non-probability sampling • Purposive Sampling • Quota Sampling • Snowball Sampling • Convenience Sampling

Degradation of dense forests from the year 1992 (left) to 2010 (right)
Agricultural area in 1992 (left) changed into horticulture (right) in 2010
a b Agricultural area converted into horticulture in the year (a) 2001 (b) 2005
Conclusion A sample could only be representative if a proper sampling procedure is employed.
