Math in The Modern World

This document discusses different types of sampling methods and provides examples of each. It defines five types of sampling: cluster sampling, which surveys all units within a randomly selected geographical area; systematic sampling, which selects every kth unit; simple random sampling, which randomly selects units from a population; matched random sampling, which measures the same study participants before and after an event; and stratified random sampling, which randomly selects units from subgroups or strata of a population. For each type, it gives a scenario that illustrates how that sampling method would be used.
