Sampling methods
Random - samples chosen at random so everyone has an equal chance of being chosen
Systematic- Working to a system to collect data e.g. surveying every 100m, asking every 10th person
Stratified sampling- deliberately introducing bias to ensure the sample addresses the question e..g used when the study of an area has significantly different parts, e.g. 0-10 years but 50% of people are aged 50-60 years
Random sampling and pos and cons of it
Random - samples chosen at random so everyone has an equal chance of being chosen
Pros

•Hard to make things totally random, unintentionally be biased because you are drawn to a certain social group(e.g. approaching friendly looking people)
