- Cluster sample: Divides the population into groups (clusters) and then randomly selects clusters to be included in the sample.
- Convenience sample: Researchers select the most accessible members of the population.
- Quota sample: Researchers select a specific number of people from predefined categories.
- Simple random sample: Ensures every member of the population has a known and equal chance of being selected.
- Stratified random sample: Divides the population into mutually exclusive groups (strata) and then randomly selects individuals from each strata.
