This document discusses sampling techniques used in research. It defines sampling as selecting a representative subset of a population to study. There are two main types of sampling: probability sampling, which uses random selection, and non-probability sampling, which relies on the researcher's judgment. Some examples of probability sampling techniques provided are simple random sampling, systematic sampling, and stratified sampling. Non-probability sampling techniques mentioned include convenience sampling, purposive sampling, and snowball sampling. The document emphasizes that sampling allows researchers to study a population in a time and cost-effective way while obtaining representative results.
