Answer:
The best data collection method or sampling method to provide an unbiased sample is the random sampling method.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 5 popular known sampling methods or data collection methods.
1) Random Sampling
In random sampling, each member of the population would have an equal chance of being surveyed. One of the best ways to use random sampling is to give all the members of the population numbers and then use computer to generate random numbers and pick the members of the population with those random numbers.
2) Systematic sampling is easier than random sampling. In systematic sampling, a particular number, n, is counted repeatedly and each of the nth member is picked to be sampled.
3) Convenience Sampling
This is the worst sampling technique. It is also the easiest. In Convenience sampling, the surveyor just picks the first set of members of the population that they find and surveys.
4) Stratified Sampling
Stratified sampling divides the population into groups called strata. A sample is taken from each of these strata using either random, systematic, or convenience sampling.
5) Cluster sampling
Cluster Sampling divides the population into groups which are called clusters or blocks. The clusters are selected randomly, and some members or every element/member in the selected clusters is surveyed.
