Probability sampling • Simple random sampling • Systematic sampling • Stratified sampling • Cluster sampling • Multi-stage sampling Non-Probability sampling • Purposive sampling • Convenience sampling
Stratified (random) sampling AA B BBB A A A A C CCC A A C CCC Divide the population into homogeneous sub-groups. Select sub-samples from each sub-group. (If one selects them in proportion to the size of the sub-group, the sample does need to be weighted later.) Maintains representation with small samples being even when the population is quite large. Ensures representation if the population is highly heterogeneous and some groups might be left out of the sample. Is cost-effective and time-saving.

Systematic sampling A list of individuals/households is numbered. The list is divided into ‘n’ equal sections (‘n’ being sample size). One unit is selected using SRS. Corresponding numbers (one from each) are taken from each section (e.g. if the sixth unit is chosen from the first section, then it should be taken from all the other sections). It is possible to list the population in a meaningful manner (such as putting each county together) and thus ensure samples are taken from each county.
