Performed to obtain a sample representative of the population. Each member of the population in question has a known probability of being selected. Random sampling: achieved through random selection, can be accomplished through a random number generator. Stratified random sampling: random sampling that ensures that subgroups or strata present in the population are fairly represented in the sample, e. g. accounting for gender, age or ethnic proportions in a population. Cluster sampling: taking a cluster of individuals as a sample when the population is too large, clusters are taken at random and are still likely to represent the population, e. g. selecting classrooms of students from a school. Convenience sampling: participants are obtained wherever they can be easily found, does not aim to be representative of the population. Quota sampling: using convenience sampling, but still ensuring certain characteristics are found in required proportions. Strive to benefit those with whom they work.
