Numerical data aremore precise and thus levelsof measurement asrepresented in Likert chartsor other pi charts are moreauthentic. However, error inmeasurement is alwayspossible (Prion & Adamson,2013). It is used for thequantification of the data.There are four layers ofmeasurement like nominal,ordial, interval and ratioSamplingConsiderationSampling procedure in qualitative and quantitative researchtechniques is same. Both can utilize probability sampling ornon-probability sampling. One important consideration of sampling in case ofquantitative research is assessing the soundness of the sample(Adamson & Prion, 2013).Sampling deals with thetarget population that mustbe again sub-divided intoaccessible population, whichmeets the eligibility criteria.There are two types ofsampling probability andnon-probability sampling.However, the samplingprocedure must be designedin such a way that it reducesthe sampling error orbiasness (Adamson & Prion,2013).
