    • Random: All the options into a hat and drawn some of them.
    • Systematic: Every kth element is taken.
    • Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.
    • Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. Then, a equal proportion of each group is surveyed.
