Sample Size vs. Sampling Plans

860 views

Can anyone explain how to connect or bridge the ideas between sample size vs sampling plans?

For sample size, I believe this is defined as sample sizes for statistical tests (ex: t-test, ANOVA) and sample sizes for population proportions.

For sampling plans, I believe this is related to OC curves and RQL/AQL/LTPD and you end up with a sample size.

I don’t quite understand “sampling plans” and am trying to somehow tie my understanding of “sample size” so that I can bridge the 2 concepts together.

Can anyone help explain the similarities or differences between the two?

…….. really?

A sampling plan relates to the course of study of said subject, and how data is collected how are you randomly selecting samples. like

Nonprobability sampling.

Simple random sampling.

Systematic sampling.

Stratified sampling.

Probability-proportional-to-size sampling.

Cluster sampling.

Quota sampling.

Minimax sampling.

Sample size is the number of samples you will be taking in a sample plan.

Example in EE my plan is cluster sampling with EMI. My sampling size / data points will be in the hundreds.
