Cluster sampling is type of .............. .

  • A.Purposive sampling
  • B.Probability sampling
  • C.Non-probability sampling
  • D.Non-random sampling

Answer: B

Cluster sampling is a type of Probability sampling.

In cluster sampling the population is divided into natural groups (clusters), such as schools or villages, and a random sample of whole clusters is selected; all members of the chosen clusters, or a random sample of them, are studied. Because the clusters are chosen at random, every member has a known chance of selection, which makes it a probability method.

Purposive sampling is a non-probability method in which the researcher chooses cases deliberately, so options A, C and D, which are all forms of non-random selection, are wrong.
