    Type How To Carry Out Advantages Disadvantages: Simple Random Sampling

    Uploaded by

    Amir Pousti
    This document describes four common sampling methods: simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified sampling, and quota sampling. Simple random sampling involves randomly selecting samples from a sampling frame where each item has an equal chance of selection. Systematic sampling chooses elements at regular intervals from an ordered list. Stratified sampling divides the population into distinct groups and takes random samples proportionally from each group. Quota sampling sets quotas for certain groups in the population but uses non-random selection of sampling units.
