1. Simple Random Sampling
-the basic and best known probability sampling design. It gives each
other unit in the population or chance of being chosen from the
sample.
EXAMPLE:
 An example of a simple random sample would be the names of 25
employees being chosen out of a hat from a company of 250
employees. In this case, the population is all 250 employees, and
the sample is random because each employee has an equal chance
of being chosen.

A. The Lottery Method

- the population is arranged
sequentially and assigned
numerical identifications.

B. The Roulette Wheel

Method
- if the population is small-seventy-five
or fewer individual-each individual may
 be assigned a number in some order sequence: alphabetically by
surname, by birthdate (youngest to
oldest or reverse),
C. The Table of Random
Numbers Method
- the table of random numbers is
perhaps the most frequently used
method for the random selection of a
sample.
2. Systematic Sampling
- this design is a modified version of simple random sampling which
is less time consuming and easier to implement. The total number of
units in the population (N) is divided by the desired sample size (n),
yielding a sample interval (k). The sample is drawn by listing all
population units in arbitrary order and by selecting every kth unit,
starting with randomly selected number, until the desired sample size
is reached.
EXAMPLE:
 For instance, if a local NGO is seeking to form a systematic
sample of 500 volunteers from a population of 5000, they can
select every 10th person in the population to systematically form a
sample.

3. Stratified Sampling
- In this design, the sample is obtained by separating the population
units into none overlapping groups determined by certain
characteristic such as sex, age, education, residence and the like.
EXAMPLE:
 Assume the team researches the demographics of college students
in the U.S and finds the percentage of what students major in 12%
 major in English, 28% major in science, 24% major in computer
science, 21% major in engineering, and 15% major in
mathematics. Thus, five strata are created from the stratified
random sampling process.

4. Cluster Sampling
- cluster sampling is sometimes referred to as an "area sampling"
because it is frequently applied on a geographical basis.
EXAMPLE:
 For example, Lulu wants to conduct some marketing research for
Donna's campaign. She specifically wants information from the
different interest groups of the school. In the school, she has found
that 30% of the students are involved in athletics, 25% of the
students are involved in an academic club, 20% of the students are
involved in an art or theater club, and 25% are involved in a music
club. None of the students are involved in more than one club and
all of the students are involved in a club. Lulu knows that Donna is
 a member of an athletics club and the athletics students support
Donna's campaign.

5. Multi-Stage Sampling
-this design involves several stages of phases in drawing the sample
from the population. In this method, population elements are grouped
into hierarchy of units and sampling is done successively.
EXAMPLE:
 The Census Bureau uses multistage sampling for the U.S. National
Center for Health Statistics’ National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS). A multistage probability sample of 42,000 households in
376 probability sampling units (PSUs are usually counties or
groups of counties), which are chosen in groups of around four
adjacent households.
