From WikiEducator
In random sampling, all items have some chance of selection that can be calculated. Random sampling technique ensures that bias (see: page 179) is not introduced regarding who is included in the survey. Five common random sampling techniques are:
- simple random sampling,
- systematic sampling,
- stratified sampling,
- cluster sampling, and
- multi-stage sampling.
