Probability-Proportional-To-Size (PPS)

Probability Proportional to Size sampling method is a hybrid method of sampling. It combines attributes of both attribute sampling and variable sampling. It is considered to be a hybrid method since it uses attribute sampling to help express a conclusion in dollar figures.

Step 1:
  • Determine Sampling Interval: Tolerable Misstatement/Reliability Factor

Step 2:
  • Determine Sampling Size: Recorded Amount of the Population/Sampling Interval
