Solution
There are two types of sampling.
They are:
(1) Non-Random sampling or Non-probability sampling
(2) Random sampling or probability sampling Random sampling refers to selection of samples from the population in a random manner.
A random sample is one where each and every item in the population has an equal chance of being selected.
“Every member of a parent population has had equal chances of being included “Dr. Yates.
“A random sample is a sample selected in such a way that every item in the population has an equal chance of being included”-Harver.
The different types of probability sampling are:
(1) Sampling random sampling
(2) Stratified random sampling
(3) Systematic sampling
