Define sampling. Discuss the different methods of sampling.

Sampling in research refers to the process of selecting a subset (sample) from a larger population to participate in a study. This subset is chosen to represent the population as a whole, with the goal of making inferences about the population based on the findings from the sample. Sampling is essential because it is often impractical or impossible to study an entire population. Proper sampling methods ensure that the sample is representative, reducing bias and improving the generalizability of the research findings.

There are two main types of sampling methods: probability sampling and non-probability sampling. Each of these categories has various techniques that researchers can use depending on their study's goals, the population they are studying, and the resources available.

### 1. Probability Sampling
Probability sampling involves random selection, meaning that every member of the population has a known, non-zero chance of being included in the sample. This method helps eliminate bias and provides the foundation for statistical inference, allowing researchers to generalize the findings to the entire population.
