Sampling
Draw a subset of the population that truely represent the target population as a whole
Sampling plan
Outlines the process by which the subsets or participants are drawn from target population

4 types of random sampling (probability sampling)
Simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling
