Sampling methods What are the sampling methods?

1, draw lots. Generally speaking, the lottery method is to number the n individuals in the group, write the numbers on the digital labels, put the digital labels into a container, and after stirring evenly, extract one digital label from it every time and extract it for n times continuously to get a sample with a capacity of n. The lottery method is simple and easy, and it is suitable for the situation with a small number of people in the group. When there are a large number of individuals in the group, it is difficult to "evenly mix the group", which is probably due to the poor representativeness of the samples produced by lottery.
