Types of sampling.

• Random sampling is similar to placing the name of everyone in a hat and pulling out a few names.

• In Systematic sampling, we list of elements is counted off.

• Convenience sampling: data which is readily available is used. That is, the first people are running into by the surveyor.

• In Cluster sampling, we divide the population into groups, usually geographically.
