Implementing Sampling to Python
Sampling is a core concept in statistics and data science, helping us analyze populations without observing every individual.
In this tutorial, you'll see how to implement four different sampling methods using Python: Simple Random Sampling, Stratified Sampling, Cluster Sampling, and Systematic Sampling.
Simple Random Sampling
1234567import random N = 30 # population size n = 5 # sample size sample_srs = random.sample(range(1, N+1), n) print(f"Simple Random Sample: {sample_srs}")
random.sample(range(1, N+1), n)
randomly selects n unique values from the population;- Works without replacement (no repeats);
- Every member of the population has an equal chance of being chosen.
Stratified Sampling
123456789N_males = 18 N_females = 12 N_total = N_males + N_females n_total = 10 n_males = round((N_males / N_total) * n_total) n_females = round((N_females / N_total) * n_total) print(f"Stratified Sample Size -> Males: {n_males}, Females: {n_females}")
- Population is divided into subgroups (strata);
- Sample is drawn proportionally from each subgroup;
- Ensures representation of key groups.
Cluster Sampling
1234567import random clusters = 5 students_per_cluster = 25 selected_cluster = random.randint(1, clusters) print(f"Selected cluster (classroom): {selected_cluster} containing {students_per_cluster} students")
- Population divided into clusters (e.g., classrooms);
- One or more clusters are selected randomly;
- Everyone in chosen cluster(s) is surveyed;
- Efficient when listing every individual is impractical.
Systematic Sampling
123456789101112import random N = 1000 n = 100 k = N // n # Sampling interval start = random.randint(1, k) # Random start sample_systematic = list(range(start, N+1, k)) print(f"Sampling interval k = {k}") print(f"Random start = {start}") print(f"First 10 samples: {sample_systematic[:10]}")
- Interval k=nN;
- Start point chosen randomly between 1 and k;
- Select every k-th element from ordered population.
Summary of Methods
- Simple Random: equal chance for all, no repeats;
- Stratified: ensures subgroup representation;
- Cluster: randomly selects whole groups;
- Systematic: selects at fixed intervals after random start.

Can you explain the differences between these four sampling methods?
When should I use each sampling method in practice?
Can you provide more real-world examples for each sampling method?
Awesome!
