Identify: It contains series of numbers that can be generated manually or electronically.

Identify:

In this method the, the population is divided into stratum, and then the percentage share of each stratum.

Identify: In this method the, the population size (N) is divided by the sample size (n) in order to determine the value of k to be used in selecting every kth element.

Identify: A sampling method that is used when selecting sample elements from the population based on what sample elements are easy or convenient to obtain.

Identify: The selection of samples where the sampling is done in levels using smaller and smaller sampling units at each level.

Identify: This method is often used when the complete list of population is impossible to construct and the process of selecting the clusters or groups are defined by geographical location, economic status and other group defining characteristics.

This sampling method do not comply in the strictness of randomness, and therefore may be biased oftentimes, since the process at the start involves the researcher's judgement which at times has limitations.

Identify: In this method, the process starts with identification of the first sample who meets the criteria and then followed by another of the same criteria referred to by the first sample.

Identify: In this method, the process of determining the sample elements needed for the study is limited to the number of pre-determined sample size based on gender, age economic status and factors.
