Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The sampling methods include:

1. Simple random sampling: Here, the individuals in the population have an equal chance of being selected as the selection is done randomly and anyone can be picked from the population

2. Systematic sampling: This is when the selection of the individuals is done at regular intervals. For example from the population, every 10th person might be picked.

3. Stratified sampling: Here, the total population is first divided into a smaller group called the strata before the sampling is done.

4. Clustered sampling: Here, the sampling unit is the subgroups of the population and not the individuals.
