Types of Sampling. Simple Random Cluster Stratified Systematic (every kth element is sampled). Assumptions. Members of the Population can be numbered from 1 to N where N is the population size

Types of Sampling • Simple Random • Cluster • Stratified • Systematic (every kth element is sampled)
Assumptions • Members of the Population can be numbered from 1 to N where N is the population size • You have a mechanism for randomly picking n numbers (usually without replacement) from the collection of numbers 1,2,3,…,N • If number k is selected, the population element with that number is in the sample

Systematic (every kth) • A starting number is randomly chosen • The population element corresponding to the starting number and every kth population element after that are selected for the sample • ‘Circular’ counting is used
