In qualitative sampling strategy and sample size, the researchers would select the
sample population and illustrated the subset of the population in the qualitative
studies (Owen & Lewins, 2002). In the quantitative research approach, the
researchers would focus and review the following steps. First, the researchers
would target the population sampling strategy and separated the sample size from
the population. Second, the researchers would create and select the accessibility of
population. Third, the researchers would restate the eligibility criteria of the
population sampling strategy. Finally, the researchers would outline the sampling
strategy plan and recruited the sample population size. In approaching qualitative
sampling strategy and sample size, the researchers would demonstrate a number of

studies and followed the qualitative steps. First, the researchers would generate the
sample ideas where the population strategy plan began with a number of sampling
cases through quota and snowball sample procedures. Second, the researchers
would create a number of sample units based on what the researchers already
selected in the qualitative studies. Third, some qualitative researchers believed that
the sample size would represent a number of variations on the target population
sampling plan. Finally, the researchers illustrated that the sample size would base
on the qualitative approach of the sample size study and data collection approach
to understand the selection of participants in the research study area within a large
population (Creswell, 2013 and Patton, 2002). Gibbs et al (2007) and Patton
(2002) demonstrated that there were a number of methods the researchers would
estimate the sample size based on the data collection methods through an
extensive population sampling strategy plan. First, the researchers would select the
case study and phenomenology research methods based on one case person upon
ten participants. Second, the researchers would define the grounded theory and
would interview the key informants and focus groups approximately 5-30
members. Finally, the researchers would estimate the sample size based on the
comparison with, the quantitative research studies would strive the random

sample size, there were a number of level studies to recommend and justify the
sample population. First, the case study approach would limit the small sample
size population, but it would provide the relevant information about a natural
setting. Second, the descriptive study approach would describe the range of
activities without furthering exploration. Finally, the case study and narrative
methods would collect the essential new information about research questions, a
timeline of the study areas, and allocated the resources available. The researchers
